Review

Appalachian and Irish acoustic trad music make an appealing combination, and the Chieftains and their stateside colleagues do ample justice to both in this Grammy-winning charmer. American Country music developed primarily from Scots-Irish and British folk tunes, rather than the Chieftains' more usual Gaelic sources, but there was considerable borrowing and one melody often turned up with multiple sets of lyrics. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band perform here with an aplomb that recalls their legendary "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" sessions (a version of that tune also appears on the CD). Other participants include Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson, Chet Atkins, banjo renaissance maestro Bela Fleck, New Grass Revival's Sam Bush, and bluegrass diehard Ricky Skaggs. --Christina RodenIt's a truism that Irish music was the basis of many of the Appalachian ballads and dance tunes that in turn evolved into country music, so it's only natural that the Chieftains would collaborate with American country stars like Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, Don Williams, Chet Atkins, Ricky Skaggs, and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on this album. Nelson, Harris, and Williams prove such dominating singers that the Chieftains seem to disappear into the background. A more equal balance is struck with the more instrumentally minded Americans like Skaggs, Atkins, Bela Fleck, Jerry Douglas, and Sam Bush, and it's a treat to hear the Irish fiddles and tin whistle floating above Fleck's banjo and Skaggs's mandolin on "Will the Circle Be Unbroken." --Geoffrey Himes
