Review:

''Traditional Masterpiece''..
"The Woman I loved so well" is a true classic featuring the beautiful ''Little Musgrave'' the story of which Christy Moore found on an old bit of paper in an antique shop. The tune ''The Ladys Pantalettes'' was used once by Mary Black for her song Carolina Rua. This is a powerful, timeless and hypnotic album with some of the band's own favourite tracks. Lunny is at his best; O'Flynn's piping is masterclass and the vocals of Andy Irvine are expert. This set the standard for contemporary trad bands. A ''must have'' Trad. album.
