For the remainder of St. Patrick's Day...

Before St. Patrick's Day ends, it's advisable to play just about any track from the Solas CD, "Another Day."  That release strikes a good balance between traditional and modern sensibilities.  Two vocal highlights, offering poignant lyrics and effective lead vocals from Deirdre Scanlan are "All That You Ask Me" and "I Wandered By A Brookside."  Instrumental standouts include "The Highlands Of Holland," featuring Winifred Horan's memorable fiddle arrangement, and the contemplative title track.  "Another Day" is one of the most consistently strong Celtic releases.  Even if you don't get to it before St. Patrick's Day slips away, it's suitable for everyday listening.
