I have this, it is excellent, but don't expect it to sound like contemporary "pretty" singing. This is the voice of an old woman, but the artistry is certainly still there.
My guess is you can purchase this fairly easily online, as it has been around for quite some time now. The title translates to "Rose of the Songs" though, and the subtitle is "Songs of a Donegal Woman." The excellent liner notes were written by Cathal Goan, who works with (or used to) RTE, and is married to another Donegal chanteuse, Maighread Ni Dhomhnaill.
For US sources for the CD, try a google search for Elderly Music, Tayberry Music, Lark in the Morning, the Irish Music Store. It is easily mail ordered from Ireland from many reputable sources too. I mail order direct from Ireland and the rest of Europe frequently, and I've never had a problem.
