Title: More Celtia than New England
Product review: This album conjures visions of Celtic lands rather than musical impressions of New England. Sure, the Irish and the Scots migrated to the upper eastern coasts of North America and so their music still echoes there, but rather than evoking the eclectic musical mix that came to be distinctly Americana, this music wafts from a different shore. Heavy on the squeezebox, most likely you'll imagine Irish bands and pubs before you'll imagine Ol' Nick the Sea Captain or Old Cape Cod. Well-crafted, but not what I expected. I do like this CD. It's just that I'll most likely play it when I'm in a lively Celtic mood and ready to dance the Maypole; not when I'm cooking New England clam chowder or steaming lobster and dreaming of buoys bobbing peacefully in the bay.
