Italian musicians playing Celtic music? I had to hear this to believe it. Yes, it works. Whiskey Trail sounds just like an Irish band.

This collection is a tribute to the 6th-century Irish missionary San Frediano, who traveled through Tuscany spreading both the Gospel and Celtic music. And San Frediano by Whiskey Trail is one of the most impressively packaged CD-DVD collections I've ever seen. In one neat booklet you get: a music CD, a DVD with a live performance and a booklet featuring folklore and history.

The CD weighs in at a whopping 14 tracks and 78.2 minutes of music. The recording is from a live concert at Saschall in Florence. The music's part traditional and part original. All of it is beautifully done.

Tracks include "Frenzied Memories," "Flavours," "Banshee Steps," "Fairy Nurse," "Eire na Greine," "Suite Bretonne," "Witch's Curses," "Green Hills/Gooseberry Bush," "Auld Lang Syne" and "Atoll Highlander." The booklet is 100 pages long, in both English and Italian, including full-color illustrations. The paper is of good quality and the binding is well done.

The DVD is a live performance. The only complaint I could actually have about this collection is that the DVD does not play at all on my laptop. I can get it to load on my desktop and home player though and it is well worth the watch. Overall, this collection is beautifully done with an old-world flair and attention to detail that I think would do San Frediano proud.
