"John Whelan has made a beautiful cd filled with tunes that seem to take you back to long ago Ireland. I use this cd to relax and meditate. This was put together with finesse and love. I love it!"
Whelan does it again

"I've been a fan of Celtic music for a long time, and this CD is one of the better examples I've heard. "Misty-eyed Morning" is a good description. It brings feelings of morning dew, mist over the forest and the sounds of nature outside in that forest. I can almost imagine waking up to this music while out in the English countryside.Before my love of Celtic music started, I could never imagine ever liking an instrument like the accordion. I had no idea that an instrument that I had always heard in music like the polka could actually sound so haunting and pleasurable. Whelan is a master, though, bringing out every nuance of mood imaginable.This was the first Whelan CD I ever picked up (I tried it on a whim without even hearing it), and I am so glad I did."
