Why This CD Matters
This 13-track collection brings together Celtic musicians for a mix of seasonal pieces, traditional melodies, and acoustic folk performances. Liam O'Flynn’s “An Droichead” and William Coulter’s “Cradle Song” sit alongside Ricky Skaggs’ “Christmas Time's A Comin',” giving the album a varied sound. It works as holiday listening for people who enjoy Celtic folk beyond familiar carols.
