One of the most successful bands ever to come out of Ireland, The Chieftains have been pioneers, innovators and collaborators. With this release, they also become keepers of the flame, returning to their roots to present seventeen songs steeped in Irish tradition. Collected from ten counties across Ireland, these wonderful tunes include instrumental and vocal selections ranging from hauntingly slow harpsichord and pipe arrangements to foot-stomping jigs. WATER FROM THE WELL, the group's first traditional album in over five years, showcases the members' Grammy winning way with Uilleann pipes, tin whistle, flute, accordion, harp, piano, fiddle and bodhran.
