Although
the Riverdance Show and its music appeared to be
an overnight success, elements of the Riverdance music had
been developing over many years prior to the phenomenon
that is Riverdance. TARA would like to bring to your attention
five albums that would be regarded as precursors to Riverdance.
Bill Whelan's 'The Seville Suite' - 'EastWind'
by Andy Irvine & Davy Spillane - 'Out of the Air'
by The Davy Spillane Band - Davy Spillane's 'Pipedreams'
- 'The Storm' by Moving Hearts

Bridge, the first solo album from Davy Spillane, took on a
totally new musical direction with Davy being accompanied
by the legendary guitar player Albert Lee, bluegrass
and country music stars Jerry Douglas on Dobro, and
Bela Fleck on Banjo (these three musicians have all
been nominated for Grammy awards) as well as the cream of
Irish musicians in Greg Boland - Guitars, Eoghan
O'Neill - Bass, Christy Moore - Bodhran, Noel
Eccles - Percussion and John Donnelly on drums.
Together they created an exhilarating
fusion of American country rock, bluegrass and contemporary
sounds with Irish traditional music.
