Title: Wonderful Irish set of sea shanties - traditional rendered with spirit
Review: I've been a American folk music enthusiast for well over 45 years and in the last 30, Irish and English as well. When I first bumped into Northeast Winds it was on a Folk Era Sampler (compilation) CD that included the Kingston Trio, Clancy Brothers, Shaw Brothers, and the White Mountain Singers. I was sold on Northeast Winds immediately on hearing their tune Martin Greigh - An incredibly beautiful love song of a family, their father, the sea, and a fishing vessel, the Martin Griegh. I've yet to find it recorded elsewhere! This CD is worth the price for this tune alone. Add to it their renditions of Roll Alabama, Fields of Athenry, and the Band Played Waltzing Matilda (beautifully performed by their female member - sorry can't recall her name) and 10 more and you've got one tuneful Irish, nautical hooley in the making. Obscure? unfortunately. Impressive, absolutely!
