Shilelagh Law – Half The Bottle Down

A very nicely boisterous album of celtic folk, it puts me to mind of a mix somewhere between Amadan and Altan.  I’m pretty sure I actually found them because I was looking for other people’s versions of “Big Strong Man”, and while I still prefer the one by Stone Soup Band, their version of “Tell Me Ma” is worth at least 3 listens so far =p

Sally Gardens/Joe Cooley’s – an instrumental number, fast paced drums and flute, a good song for dancing

Muirsheen Durkin/Whiskey in the Jar -Nice and rollicking versions of both

A couple slow songs I skipped.  Overall, well worth the emusic credits I spent.
