Celtic and Bluegrass Music

Many songs and tunes from the old world of Ireland, Scotland, England, and Wales have traversed the great Atlantic Ocean and taken root in the new world of Canada and the United States. The music that has made that great voyage is joined with its younger, American-born, sibling to form a familial bond. This recording is representative of that music.
