The Irish quintet adds a USA edge but don't quite get to the 'Yeeha!' stage. Instead they allow Tim O'Brien to produce and Alison Brown get her banjo through the door of the studio.
The rest is powerful Irish folk music playing and singing and makes for a good strong mix.
Another step forward for Grada.
Have a listen.
