"Younger Than the Sun" ~ Celtic & American Roots Music

Traditional and new Celtic and American tunes and songs. Rousing dance tunes, intimate songs, Irish Gaelic version of Yeats' Salley Gardens, a rampant world fusion remake of Talking Heads classic "Once in a Lifetime."

Guest artists include friends from both sides of The Pond, including Neil Anderson "The Jimi Hendrix of the Highland Bagpipe" (Washington Times) Zan McLeod (Titanic movie soundtrack) and Cape Breton-Quebecois fiddler George Wilson.

"With spoken Gaelic chants, pipes, and lots of percussion, Once In A Lifetime bursts forth as a world-pagan festival. -- Green Man Review

"Magic"

 

CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK

Original, traditional and folk songs of America and Ireland. From the humorous "New Age Swing" co-written with former Bitchin' Babe Camille West to a recording of the Irish Gaelic "Raftery" to Susan's award-winning "Mountain Waters."

"Every now and then you come across a simple pleasure that must be shared… about one of the real talents in folk music today. The guest artist list, in addition to Susan's silken playing and singing, makes this one of my favorite CDs in a rather eclectic collection. Susan's voice is haunting and true and the playing precise, yet heartfelt. Susan considers herself an 'unreconstructed folkie.' You don't need to be one to fall in love with this music." -- Briefme.com
