“12 tracks of sheer joy…Shannon on whistles and flute and husband Matt on guitar and delightful vocal harmonies make this album an uplifting and spirited listen.” -Kennebec Journal/Morning Sentinel, Portland, ME

“a remarkable level of trad Irish artistry and attain majestic excellence. Fleet of note, fine in execution, the Heatons are as accepted in Ireland as they are here.” –Boston Herald

“Boston’s Matt & Shannon Heaton combine a love of Irish music, superb chops on flute and whistles (Shannon), guitar and bouzouki (Matt), and a cast of talented studio friends for a lovely CD. Shannon’s upbeat version of ‘The Blackbird,’ and smashing playing by both on ‘The O’Connor’ Donn’s’ are only a couple of the highlights.” -Sing Out!
