Peter Horan and Gerry Harrington's duet CD is out!

It has my vote for best looking CD cover for a diddly music album:

Bring on the 60s' chic and psychedelia..

Thanks to Thomas Johnson (Steampacket) who announced it on the woodenflutelist.

I just heard a track of the CD from the latest Late Session, very yummy music! Thought it was one of those archive recordings when I first heard it actually, just full of that certain quality one rarely find in commercially recorded music nowadays.

I've had that web page open in a tab on my browser ever since I learned about the release on Monday -- just so I can look at the cover whenever I want to.

It's a great name, too!

I've had my copy on order from Celtic Grooves for a couple of months now. Philippe tells me he should have copies in next week.

I think that may win an award for "lowest budget ITM album cover"

I guess it depends on when during his 16th year he got his license.

From http://www.irish-banjo.com/performers/a ... mus-1.html:

At the tender age of 16 he released his first record with the unimaginative title Traditional Music of Ireland.

Believe it or not, I actually own that CD.

However, the jewel case and aforementioned booklet disappeared (probably mercifully in Seamus's mind

) long ago.

Oooh. Now that I think about it, I haven't seen the CD for a while, either.

I bought mine at Barnes and Noble a year ago. It's not hard to find.

I just wish the synthy tracks would mysteriously disappear.
