Perfect in every way. Clancy is a co-founder of the traditional Irish band, Danu, which is among the best in the world right now, and boy, can he play. The selection of traditional tunes is beautiful, and Clancy's performances on guitar and bouzouki are musically and technically superb. His playing could be described as pristine -- every note and every line is clear and expressive. Unlike some virtuosos, who feel they need to impress the listener with breakneck speed, Clancy restrains himself in the service of the music, so the tempos are always just fast (or slow) enough to give the tunes their due. Clancy's love for the music shines through and he will impart that same sentiment to you, as he does for me. I suppose somebody else could do as brilliant a job with this material as Clancy does, but as far as I'm concerned, this is as good as it gets. Ten stars.
