The band explores the musical relationship between American roots music and the traditional music of Ireland. It’s the first full project Altanhas recorded in Nashville working under the guiding hand of producer and Compass co-founder Garry West The album pairs these Irish masters with some of the leading lights of American folk and bluegrass music, many of whom the members of Altan have known for years. The resulting music is completely engaging, simultaneously breaking new ground and reminding listeners of the ancient bond between Irish and Appalachian music. Guesting are Mary Chapin Carpenter, Bruce Molsky, Tim O’Brien, Eddi Reader, Darol Anger, Alison Brown, Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Stuart Duncan, Michael McGoldrick, Todd Phillips, Bryan Sutton and more.
