The Band:
Maureen Brennan—Celtic harp
Cindy Browne—double bass
Danny Carnahan—vocals, octave mandolin, fiddle
Kevin Carr—fiddle, uilleann pipes
Sylvia Herold—vocals, guitar
Paul Kotapish—vocals, mandolin
Brian Rice—hand percussion
with guest appearances by:
Bobbi Nikles—fiddle on Farewell Angelina
Joe Craven—vocal bug clicks and whooshes on Boll Weevil, jawbone rattling tap dance on Don’t Let Go, dum-bongo-bek on Down the Days, and bongo on St. Stephen
On one track the fiddle part is actually played by both Danny and Kevin for no good reason other than they felt like doing it. Listeners are dared to identify when one hands off to the other.
Rumors that Brian was buck naked in the studio when he struck the J. Arthur Rank gong in “St. Stephen” are entirely unfounded.
