FIRST HEARING:
The 'Solas' frontman has a heavyweight guest list of players on this 'solo' album.
No doubting the vocal qualities present and the tasteful interpretations of the songs. Most of the content is traditional but the presentation is very acceptably modern. Some nice twists and very nice music & song.
