This may be the band’s best record yet. The first few songs on Traveling On draw more from the band’s Nashville roots than their previous release. Yet, the recordings contain the consistent backing of the uilleann pipes, Irish whistles and dobro; along with the powerful vocals of lead singer Maggie Lander, whose voice has been described as Linda Ronstadt meets Adele. All of the songs on Traveling On were self-penned by band members Ric Blair and Maggie Lander except for the classic Irish song The Parting Glass and Irish trad instrumentals on the release.
The Nashville Celts recorded Traveling On in the famous Castle Recording Studio in Nashville, which is an actual Castle. Castle has a colorful history as it was built in 1932 by a Chicago mobster and has served as the birthplace to over 500 gold and platinum records. In making the new record, TNC was also joined in the studio by their friends Jeff Taylor (Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, etc) on accordion, Byron House (Robert Plant, Alison Krauss) on bass and Natalya Kay (Gaelic Storm) on fiddle.
Traveling On is now available on all streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple, and Amazon. Please remember to like, share & subscribe!
