About this item

COMPENDIUM ALBUM OF THE YEAR: "The people at ARC asked the famous Irish music writer John O'Regan to put together a compendium album of what he would consider a true cross-section of Irish music. He has done so, brilliantly. The double cd contains 34 cuts. Essentially, everything you would ever need is here- if you are looking for a total experience. Some of these cuts work better than others. And, that is the way it should be in a compendium album. Pretty much everything is here, and no one likes everything. But, we love enough of this to recommend it 100%. A great job, from a terrific Irish music journo." --Bill Margeson, Top TIR Tradition Music Awards, 2015
