A classic for lovers of good and heartfelt music played with joy. This has Paddy Moloney and the Chieftains combining forces with one of the best assemblages of country musicians put together. A diverse group it definitely is, stretching from Ricky Skaggs to Don Williams to Colin James running into Willie Nelson and Chet Atkins and so forth in cornucopia of audio delight. From the opening joy of HAPPY TO MEET, crossing the musical streets to HEARTBREAK HOTEL, to the romping joy shown by the players in COTTON-EYED JOE and CUNLA, this CD is a never-ending country grab bag of musical mastery. A disc that is filled with musical joy and the good feeling these players bring to their music. The diverse group of players play as if they were a unit that has spent a good amount of time and been down the long hard road of wire fenced stages in cheap bars together honing its skills, which arrive at fruition here.
