As an American who knows nothing of the Irish language, and almost as little of the finer points of Irish music, I find this CD, like the self-titled first album, entirely fits my fantasy Ireland, which is a complicated and sometimes mournful, sometimes joyful, sometimes simultaneously joyful and mournful, expression of the longing and aspiration that makes us human. Go ahead and click "Add to Cart" now, then listen repeatedly. It will befriend and stir your heart, soothe your soul, and lighten a bit every day in which you listen to it.

I loved the first Gloaming album, and this one is even better. Iarla O Lionaird's singing is absolutely lovely. Caoimhin O Raghallaigh's fiddling is sublime. Martin Hayes and Dennis Cahill are their great selves. And Thomas Bartlett's spare and judicious piano adds just the right touch. I listen to this album every single day and I give it away as a gift to lots of folks. You can't miss with this one.

If you liked The Gloaming's first album, you'll love this one. More of the same, but with music that is so beautiful and haunting and sublime, that's a wonderful thing. I really don't know how they do it. This is what Irish Heaven sounds like.

I must have been Gaelic in a previous life because I love Gaelic music. This is one of my favs out of the hundreds of CDs I have.

I bought this CD after seeing the movie Brooklyn. This singer has the best voice ever! The whole CD is soo soothing and calming to hear over and over.

Wonderful group that sings in Irish. Listen to it all the time at work. Music very soothing and at times very uplifting. In June 2016 my husband and I traveled to the Kennedy Center in DC to see them. It was well worth it.

Incredible Irish folk band, a must own album. The lead fiddle player is world classs.

This is awesome. If you love Martin Hayes and his take on Irish Trad., you'll love this.
