Our Take

Tommy Peoples' latest offering, "High Party of the Road," is a whirlwind of traditional Celtic music that will have you tapping your feet and reaching for another pint of ale. With his signature fiddle playing that seems to transport you straight to the rolling hills of Ireland, Peoples brings a modern twist to these age-old tunes.

The album kicks off with the lively track "The King's Shilling," a toe-tapping number that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Peoples' virtuosity on the fiddle is on full display here, with each note played with precision and passion.

Tracks like "The High Road to Linton" and "Molly Ban" showcase Peoples' ability to evoke a sense of nostalgia and longing, while still keeping things fresh and exciting. The traditional melodies are given new life in Peoples' capable hands, making each song a joy to listen to.

But it's not all serious business on "High Party of the Road." Tracks like "The Humours of Glynn" and "The High Level Hornpipe" bring a sense of fun and whimsy to the album, with lively rhythms and playful melodies that will have you dancing around your living room in no time.

Overall, "High Party of the Road" is a must-listen for any fan of Celtic music or traditional folk. Tommy Peoples' masterful fiddle playing and unique interpretations of classic tunes make this album a standout in his already impressive discography. So grab your dancing shoes and prepare for a musical journey you won't soon forget.
