Steelhead in the Riffles (LC5) - Robin Flower and Libby McLaren An all-instrumental extravaganza of 18 original and 4 traditional tunes, recorded after Robin and Libby's first trip to Ireland. Influenced by this time honored traditional music, these expert musicians rip through jigs, reels, slip jigs, a hornpipe and a waltz on fiddle, piano, mandolin, guitar, and accordion. Add the bass of Jan Martinelli, the percussion of Brian Rice, and the hammered dulcimer of Barbara Higbie and what you have is a CD that has striking power and awesome beauty. Steelhead in the Riffles has garnered excellent reviews and lots of radio play, including airplay in Ireland and Australia. A must-have for anyone who loves Irish music!
