Irish Taters in Ozark Land

songs - musicians - I'll take it!

A diversified, mostly Celtic album, with 23 Irish, 2 Scottish, 3 English, 1 French Canadian, and 2 tunes from the U.S.A.  There are reels, jigs, hornpipes, marches, and eight slow aires. 

There are four tunes with vocals: Lady Mary, a song of unrequited love; The Minstrel Boy, a musician's lament to war; one verse of the Kerry Dance, a very popular 19th century Irish song; and the last song on the album is The Blessing of Love, or The Irish Blessing.  Pam Kirby sings lead and Kay Thomas, harmony, on these songs.  They both were regular performers on the N.P.R. radio show, At Home In the Country

The instruments include the fiddle, flute, fife, penny whistle, guitar, bass violin, tenor banjo, mandolin, and percussion.  The hammered dulcimer is the lead instrument.
