Donegal-based Celtic collective Altan continues to explore the timeless beauty of Irish acoustic music with LOCAL GROUND, their sixth release for Narada. For those who like their Celtic music heavy on the traditional side, Altan's rootsy folk sensibilities are sure to please. Their jovial jigs and reels offer nimble fiddling, a warm bed of guitar strumming, the melodic song of the pennywhistle and light percussion, often topped with the sweetly innocent vocals of Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh. The album maintains a sprightly and upbeat air throughout most of its running time, not to mention the pure Celtic flavor that has characterized the group's previous efforts.
