专辑简介

It starts like an old joke: what do you get when you cross musicians from a radical mix of Canadian heritages (from Irish to Kiwi to Portuguese) and get them to play traditional Irish music? It turns out that you get a solid debut album from a (mostly) young group of instrumentalists. With playing by Kevin (flute and whistles), Kaitlin (flutes), Selena (fiddle), Mitchell (guitar), Tom (bodhran), and guest Liam (mandolin), Rinn takes the listener on an exciting journey through the musical traditions of Ireland. Tunes composed in the 17th century interact with those written just months ago. The Cow that Ate the Blanket showcases the depth and reach of a musical tradition passed on through a multitude of generations and spread around the world.
