The Cassidys are siblings who play folk and folk-based music, with a touch of rock and blues tossed in to sweeten the pot. On this album they're paying homage to the tunes they grew up with, and although the words are Gaelic, many tunes will be familiar. "Oro Se Do Bheatha'bhaile" became the sea chantey "Early in the Morning" and "Cill Chais" was known as "Acres of Clams" by the time it reached Oregon. Like many family bands, the Cassidys specialize in close harmony singing, blending their vocals into a single voice that can lift your spirits or chill you to the bone. And instrumentally, there's something for everyone--crystalline acoustic laments, bluesy stomps, melancholy fiddling, and moody ballads that bring to mind the ambient Irish soundscapes of Clannad. --j. poet

Why Isn't This A Standard of Traditional Irish Music?????.......2007-04-05
Yes...the songs harken back to those that for some folks were the stuff of childhood...your grandmother may have crooned these or some like these to you to get you to calm down and sleep -- and then maybe these are like the tunes you sang to yourself or with friends as you did the things that kids do to fill a day.
All the same, the uncomplicatedness of these songs should not be a mark against them.
The musicianship of the performances is superb as well. And, you cannot help but appreciate the spirit of the performances either. Really amazing work!
This is one that I go back to time and again. And it can move me to tears as I think about the past and where I am now. Maybe it frightens some people to be reminded of the innocence lost...but we can use great music like this to tap into who we started out as and who we really are!
Okay...forget all that -- just listen to this and enjoy it!

Cassys, you're fabulous!
