A Following Wind Glenn Morgan The hammered dulcimer reigns supreme on this album, instantly assaulting the listener with a quick tempo dulcimer accented by guest performances which all somehow manage to keep up Glenn Morgan's fantastic pace. The dominant use of the hammered dulcimer, the speed in which it is played, and the lack of rhythmic variance caused by the pace, makes this CD mesmeric and somewhat hard to follow. However, "Simon's Breton Tune For A Friday Afternoon" and "Abbot's Bromley Horn Dance" stand out because they are the only songs not played on the dulcimer and therefore are more subdued than the other songs on this album. This variance alone draws attention back into the music. Yet despite the speed of the playing, Following Wind is good listening, providing fury to already furious Celtic music. Following Wind (Look for Morgan at many California Renaissance Faires!) --John Sestak III
