On this album, Glenn Morgan, playing the hammered dulcimer, concentrates on high spirited Irish dances, throwing in an occasional English and Scottish tune. For the most part, the selections are arranged in well-balanced medleys that provide a taste of one tune before moving on to the next. For example, the first cut is a rapid combination of the "Kesh Jig," "Kid on the Mountain," and "Swallowtail Jig." After that, the pace does not let up until the end of the disc with a lovely version of Carolan's, "Si Bheag, Si Mhor."The ensemble is all strings and percussion, with a fiddle and a cittern backing up the hammered dulcimer. Although this effect is more of a live jam session instead of a formal recording, with this music effect works. It is easy to imagine hundreds of people clogging to the beat of the bodhran, although the songs are literally played at breakneck speed.
