VARIOUS: THE PIPER'S ROCK
Davy Spillane, Jimmy O'Brien-Moran, Robbie Hannan, Gabriel McKeon, Maire Ni Ghrada, Mick O'Brien, Eoin O'Riabhaigh: uilleann pipes
Produced by P.J. Curtis, this 1978 release is a legendary collection of recordings by what were at the time young yet formidably talented pipers. All of them have now become household names in Irish music circles--and sometimes beyond, as in the case of Davy Spillane--and some continue to make their mark through their concert appearances and their solo recordings.
