Joe has been playing for more than forty years, and even as far back as the 1960s could fill any hall in Ireland. He is still probably the best-known accordionist in the country. His enormous wit and geniality have endeared him to all who know him. This CD is in a sense a musical memoir the sleeve notes link the tunes to circumstances, places and people. The playing is as precise and lively as you?d expect and the accompaniment is by Charlie Lennon. Any album by Joe Burke will be good, and here he?s at his best.
