"One of the gentle architects of today's Irish music sound. " - The Thistle and Shamrock
The heart of this album is a body of songs performed by Daithi Sproule on vocal and guitar drawn from traditional songs that he has sung and loved for decades.
The end result is also the product of collaboration and cooperation with many of his friends, recorded in places as far apart as Ramelton, Co. Donegal and Whidbey Island, off the west coast of America.
Daithi writes, "I hope you will love these songs as I do, drawn from the deep river of traditional song."
