Finally
It's primarily a vocal CD, but has electric dulcimer on some tracks and an autoharp (RAR) track adds color on a traditional tune called "Geordie". Other instrumentation is provided by some truly gifted people including Michael Bellmont and Rob Chirico, both brilliant, classically trained guitarists with very individual styles, and Lin Chirico on accordion (no trace of polka styles at all; very lyrical) and bodhran.
The style/genre is an eclectic mix of songs about love or, in one case, justice. There are jazz, traditional, and folk tunes. Three of the songs are awesome original compositions by Michael Bellmont; others feature great arrangements by Rob Chirico, as well as Rini's arrangements.
"This is a great CD! Rini has one of the best voices we have ever heard. She is a gifted performer. This one is worth adding to your collection."
-- Bud and Donna Ford
-- Cripple Creek Dulcimers
