(4 out of 5 stars)

"Lovely old ladies singing lovely old songs. Traditional unaccompanied Irish singing is nothing new, but two people singing simultaneously is a rare find indeed. At the setting of the sun (Eirinn a ghra mo chroi) is lovely. Any fan of Irish music who cringes at the sound of tenors and ballad singers will be happily surprised at these two old ladies singing the same songs they've used to pass the time while working their whole lives. Word of warning, these are not professional musicians, these are people who grew up singing music in the house and did it well enough to be recorded. At times, this is more of a field recording than a polished studio session."
