Praise for What a Time! Vol. 2
“The Irish, English, Scottish, and Newfoundland traditional and contemporary folk songs performed by Ryan’s Fancy became part of the cultural fabric of [Atlantic Canada] in the 1970s and 1980s. This CD not only helps preserve that legacy, but also introduces the group to a new generation of traditional music fans.â€
