De Danann - The Mist Covered Mountain (1991) 

Info:
I am a great fan of traditional Irish music and De Danaan is the band that started me down that road....well over 25 years ago, gasp!! I remember buying the Mist Covered Mountain when I was no more than 10 or 11 and listening to the LP on the turntable every evening with my brothers. My favorite tune on this album is the eponymous Mist Covered Mountain, a searingly beautiful and plaintive song, and well worth the price of the album just for the one song. If you haven't heard this one, do yourself a favor, get this album, and play yourself this song. It's a rare delight. Those initial days when I was so young yet, and just learning Irish music, spawned some great evenings, filled with laughter and games, crackling wood fires, and music both haunting and evocative. Even as I write this my memories turn to how I would drift to sleep, my brothers quiet about me (we three shared a room), thinking thoughts about the fabled Emerald Isle that I could know only through this wonderful new music. I went on to purchase other De Danaan albums, and many other albums by other traditional Irish bands. This is great stuff, the album that started it all for me, and if you are a fan of this type of music this is one you'll want to add to your collection.
