Title: Favorite Celtic album
Review: If I were stranded on a desert island and could only have one album of instrumental music, Banish Misfortune would be my choice. Malcolm Dalglish and Grey Larsen are immensely talented -- I saw them play at McCabe's in LA in the early 1980's, and they were brilliant, especially Dalglish on hammered dulcimer. Most of the tracks are instrumental (hammered dulcimer, English concertina, guitar, flute, tin whistle, alto recorder, anglo); there are vocals on Christ Child's Lullaby. Most of the songs are traditional Irish, Northumbrian or North Hebridian tunes; a few tunes are original. My favorite track on this album is March Of The King Laois / Brian Boru's March. The melody starts off so simply, and then is increasingly embellished. This track, and Christ Child's Lullaby, are tracks that bring peace to my soul.
