Every Irish tune on this album was identified by carefully comparing this recorded performance with all other tunes in the Irish Traditional Music Tune Index—by comparing musically, disregarding tune titles. The track and tune numbers below, furthermore, correspond to what you actually hear on this album. This page is thus more reliable than the original album notes, track titles listed by iTunes/Media Player, or other Web sites, all of which usually suffer from errors.
