The good news is that, thanks to good auspices of WEA's Atlantic imprint, Ireland's Claddagh label is finally getting the Stateside distribution it deserves.

The good news is that, thanks to good auspices of WEA's Atlantic imprint, Ireland's Claddagh label is finally getting the Stateside distribution it deserves. The bad news, if this compilation is any indicator, is that the folks in charge of marketing at Atlantic may not be entirely clear on the nature of traditional Irish music. Do not be deceived by the title: This is not a collection of songs suitable for playing at weddings. Unless, that is, you think that the young couple will be encouraged by lines like "Love grows colder as it gets older/And fades away like morning dew" ("Love Is Teasing," sung beautifully by Dolly McMahon) or by songs about scurrilous noblemen who get their mistresses pregnant and then leave them out in the cold with their babies ("Lord Gregory," another fine McMahon performance). On the other hand, there are some lovely instrumentals here, particularly piper Leo Rowsome's heroic rendition of the reel "Jenny's Wedding" and harper Derek Bell's stately "Little Molly O/Love in Secret." Recommended, but primarily for individual consumption outside of any romantic context. ~ Rick Anderson, Rovi
