X by Lilt

“This is a Lilt with real fizz, platinum quality. Well done!!” - Irish Music Magazine, Sept. 2019

"X" is the fourth CD from the Irish traditional duo Lilt: Tina Eck (flute, tinwhistle) and Keith Carr (10-string bouzouki, tenor banjo, mandolin). The release marks Lilt's tenth year together --hence the "X"! The album presents a collection of Irish traditional and contemporary tunes in a variety of forms -- jigs, reels, set dances, polkas, airs. Lilt is joined by a guest lineup that includes some of the very best Irish musicians in America: Billy McComiskey on accordion, Donna Long on piano, Josh Dukes and Zan McLeod on guitar, Sean Heely, Philippe Varlet, and Peri Leighty on fiddle, Jim Stickley on bodhran, plus Sean-nos steps from champion dancer Kate Bole. ...Plus, an appearance by renowned klezmer clarinet wizard Seth Kibel.
