Album Notes Personnel: Dennis Cahill (guitar, mandolin, bass instrument); Martin Hayes (fiddle, viola). Working together for the first time in a decade, Irish folk musicians Martin Hayes and Dennis Cahill immediately fall back into a strong working relationship on the joyous WELCOME HERE AGAIN. A solid collection of originals and traditional tunes incorporating ballads, dance tunes, and vivid story songs, WELCOME HERE AGAIN is traditionally-minded Irish folk that isn't afraid to bring fresh influences and sounds into the mix. Highlights include the energetic "The Clare Reel" and "The Night Poor Larry Was Stretched."
Editorial Reviews There's no ego, no grandstanding with instrumental technique, just the absolute soul conviction of Hayes' scraping bow, at its most emotionally devastating on 'The Dear Irish Boy.' Paste
[T]he two masters are at their best when they work through the slower material, offering magical streams of expression that are more like conversation than music performance. Global Rhythm
For WELCOME HERE AGAIN, they've kept the clear, reflective look at the music but returned to playing music in song- and tune-length stretches. It all flows together... Dirty Linen
