I saw that mysterious listing on Amazon too, Amy! You've probably discovered that you're not going to be expecting "pure drop..."!
A great album with various very accomplished artists, both instrumentalists and singers, is Music At Matt Molloy's, an entirely live recording made at Matt's pub in Westport. Speaking of live recordings, there's Christy Moore's "Live At The Point" and "Live From Patrick Street." I love that one as well as the first three Patrick Street studio albums (Patrick Street, No 2 Patrick Street and Irish Times). Kevin Burke, Andy Irvine and Jackie Daly are fixtures on those four albums, Arty McGlynn is the studio albums guitar man and there are contributions from Ged Foley and Gerry O'Beirne.
