TIME MAGAZINE says "This is the kind [of music] that will link Ireland's musical past with its future." 

On "Bushes and Briars," Susan McKeown has assembled a luminous mosaic of songs drawn from the rich bounty of Celtic traditional music. With a voice of elemental power, beauty and grace, she transmutes these ageless tales of love and strife and makes them her own.

Joining Susan is a roster of acclaimed Celtic artists including Johnny Cunningham, Andy Irvine, Seamus Egan and Jerry O'Sullivan. Guest appearances by Skúli Sverrisson, Jamshied Sharifi and Samir Chatterjee lend exotic new dimensions to this transcendent collection.
