Altan

by Frankie Kennedy, Altan, Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh

Overview

This album is technically credited to Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh and Frankie Kennedy, but it's clearly the first step in Altan's development into a tight band. It's full of beautiful, fiery music, a little less dense and powerful than the later recordings. ~ Steve Winick
