"Andy Irvine is Woody Guthrie's representative on earth."
Hot Press
"Andy Irvine has been one of Ireland's most creative talents for over 20 years."
Boston Globe
"Woody would have been proud."
Denver Post
"Irvine's voice and accompaniment combine in a spell-weaving fashion, his story songs so fully animated that it's easy to understand how some cultures get along just fine without cable TV."
Los Angeles Times
"Andy Irvine is a tradition in himself."
Irish Press
"The Noam Chomsky of Irish Balladry chisels out a new motherlode of sung literature. A bloody masterpiece."
Irish Times
Thanks!!
