Title: Best Irish Instrumental
Review: In my relentless search for the best pure Irish instrumental music, I finally lit upon this remarkable CD. I'm sorry Chieftans and Bothy Band, neither of you have recorded an album of this caliber. Absolutely the best violin/flute interplays of any Celtic music I have ever heard. There is one bummer on the CD however, and that is the only vocal, a sea chanty called "The Maid from Amsterdam". Perhaps my aversion to this song on this album is personal. When I was a child, my Dad had an LP of sea chanties sung by renown baritone, Leonard Wilson, and Maid from Amsterdam was one of the songs. My advice to King's Galliard is let a master like Leonard Warren sing songs, and you guys stick to your instrumentals, as good or better than anybody in Irish music.
