Jackie and Matt have performed around the world individually and with groups who have set the standard for Irish traditional music. They have established enviable individual reputations, but their playing together, on CD and in live performances, displays not only virtuosity, but their respect, love and deep understanding of this vibrant musical tradition.
It’s a rare thing how easily and naturally Daly and Cranitch’s music articulates together, and through it one can sense the rare reverence they not only have for each other, but for the shared tradition they represent. – Dan Neely, Irish Echo, NY
They are joined on this recording by Conal Ó Gráda (flute), Geraldine O’Callaghan (fiddle)and Paul De Grae (guitar). These wonderful musicians add a further dimension to an album destined to become a classic of the genre.
It’s a beautifully observed musical portrait of a region and music that stands out so distinctively on the traditional map. – TradConnect
