Dave Cory and Eliot make a great team on this album dedicated to tunes learned, written and played in the Pacific Northwest. Dave's banjo playing is by far the best I've heard to date, and Eliot's piping is, as always, uplifting and highly skilled. Put the two together and you have an incredible combination of virtuoso trad musicians, playing tunes you feel you've known all your life (or wish you had!). The album was recently selected to be one of few CDs to be played in a pub in Dingle (Co. Dingle, Ireland) for the summer, a true taste of the Em'rald Isle ironically from two Americans living in the West. Well done, boys. I only hope this isn't the last we hear of the Dave/Eliot combo!"
