"Tir Na Nog is possibly the most genius folk group from it's era. Crafting together folk guitar, unusually gorgeous harmonies and celtic rythyms with poetic lyrics and string arangements rivaling the beauty of Nick Drake, this album is one you will listen to and love....for life. Each song tells it's own story and simple emotions. A musical escape into green fields and autum landscapes to the darkest hallow of winter. just plain beautiful."

Not for AM listeners

"This great album is one of the two incredible offerings from this little-known Irish duo. Celtic and contemporary instrumentation, powerful vocals, and compelling lyrics produce musical images that are both beautiful and mystifying. Sometimes silly, often melancholy, always unusual. It is only a matter of time until the Nog achieves Cult status."

"I don't wish to play the pedant, but Tir Na Nog released three albums not two: Tir Na Nog, Strong in the Sun, and a Tear and a Smile. They're all great."
