“The Celtic influence on musical styles of the Appalachian mountain region, and, in turn, a mountain flavor to familiar Celtic airs, form the substance of the self-produced disc by the group Mountain Thyme. It’s a gentle project of music performed by six women who obviously know and love both the music and its sources.”

(Dirty Linen Folk & World Music)

“...a rewarding combination of traditional Irish tunes, originals, and “contemporary traditional” songs from Charleston’s all-female band. The band fares especially well on old-time jigs.

Pay special attention to the beautiful, vocal rich title cut.”
