Amazon.com Wow! This aptly titled CD from John Whelan and his musical friends packs a real punch. Even on the more mysterious and lyrical pieces, there's an underlying, focused energy that says "zone": as in everyone who played on this album was in one during the recording. Whelan can play a wild, raucous accordion that's never sloppy or self-indulgent, and when he's paired with Oscar Lopez on guitar, the two spawn a chemistry that takes one's breath away. As Whelan says on the jacket, he and Oscar weren't schooled in their instruments, and a lack of self-consciousness shines throughout this collection. The few ballads sprinkled throughout the album add a lovely respite; Connie Dover's work on "Red Is the Rose" is especially radiant, and the flamenco-flavored pieces are surprisingly graceful and genuine. As on 1997's Celtic Crossroads, Whelan aimed on this CD to push the musical envelope via collaboration, and the celebratory Flirting shows the man has again met his artistic goal. --Karen Karleski Product description - TRACK LISTING - 1January's Journey / DD's Car3:09 2Rwenzori3:15 3The Heather In Winter4:30 4Polkas: Flirting With The Edge / Rockaway Beach / Emmet's Revenge4:03 5Dublin Lady4:35 6Mayengo Reel3:47 7The Lough Beg Waltz3:16 8Reels: This Is Sirius / Falling For Charlotte2:58 9Lost Souls4:11 10Jigs: Brother John's Jig / Kinyon's No. 1 / Kinyon's No. 23:39 11Hidden Treasure3:40 12Alterios' Waltz4:37 13The Storm Warning2:11 14Red Is The Rose5:30 15My Angel Boy4:48 Total Time 58:55 Wow!
