FIRST HEARING:
It's not really a first hearing 'cause this classic album has been a popular and steady seller for years, but now it's out on CD for the first time and that will certainly help sustain it's popularity.
It's a big fat bouncy ceilidh band sound - great tunes and a few songs thrown in to keep the pot boiling.
