Just what the title says.......1998-05-23

If you're looking for background music, this isn't it: Ball's fine harp accompaniment is used to enhance a series of (mostly traditional) tales. This is an album you have to LISTEN to -- you can't just put it on and fill out your Form 1040 or tangle with rush-hour traffic. As a storyteller Ball is a pleasure to hear, tasteful (I loathe performers who overdo a fake Irish brogue!), and has a wonderful sense of drama that brings even the more familiar stories to life. I've heard him do most of this material in person, and I think that without the audience a recorded version will always be second best. Still, it's stimulating, and some of the tales will have you weeping into your ginseng tea.
