"Martin Hayes is a world-class fiddle player, and every single piece on this disc is gorgeous. Hayes has a thoughtful, contemplative style that is absolutely amazing, without being the slightest bit syrupy or self-involved. (I have heard people complain that Hayes' interpretations are far too slow, but I don't find it to be a problem.) He even makes this style work well on faster pieces. I cannot possibly recommend this disc enough."
Martin's music opens your heart and enters your soul !

"The first of three albums. Martin is one of Ireland's tops fiddlers. This album is beautiful. Something for everyone that loves Irish traditional music. Ranging from lovely slow tunes to tunes that will set your heart flying. Each album just gets better. Don't miss the chance to see for yourself."
Always a 5-star Fiddler...You can't go wrong...

"You can't go wrong with Martin. A really nice guy, and a majorly talented Irishman. This man can take any Irish tune and make it sing. His style is smooth and lyrical, it can make you feel relaxed even while you're tapping your toe to the lively jigs and reels. You feel the emotion he puts into every note he plays. His slower tunes are just awsome! He carries you along on each note, making you anticipate the next. His playing is magic. He deserves 10 stars. This CD is a great collection. I also recommend his self titled CD Martin Hayes...If you love Irish fiddle, you won't be sorry."
