This is "Spirits Colliding" by the remarkable singer Paul Brady, justifiably well-known at the start of his career for Irish folk music -- HOWEVER -- his career has stretched a long way from "trad. arr." to contemporary singer/songerwriter pop music, today. He's collaborated with Andy Irvine and Tommy Peoples, Matt Molloy, Andy McGann, Sean O'Casey, John Vesey and many others over the years, and produced at least a dozen jewel-like solo albums that feature his remarkable, clear voice. Here's a tracklisting for Spirits Colliding (1995):

Paul's contributions here include vocals, guitar, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bouzouki, mandolin, tin whistle, piano, keyboards, drums, percussion. Some old friends here in the liner notes -- and look for a turn by Béla Fleck on Banjo, too. Excellent.
