Rating : - Mostly excellent....
Many of the songs here rank with the best music of either man. Start first with "Andy Irvine and Paul Brady" and Gaughan's "Handful of Earth" though. (Both are available at Amazon.com).
In this collection, 'Captain Coulston' and 'Lads of the Fair' are excellent, but some of the ballads don't really hold my interest. They could be considered closer to 'art music' than folk, though its a matter of opinion... Gaughan plays acoustic guitar and dubs electric on one track, Irvine plays mandolin and bouzouki. Their rhythm is revolutionary in a way. They use riffs and melodic figures in the accompaniment, rather than only strummed chords. This virtuoso approach is a pleasure to hear (and examine if you play mandolin or guitar)
