Next week's brand new show, our first since the anniversary episode on July 20, is already in the can. So that leaves one more repeat for this evening.

Celtic music is not really an "album" genre. There aren't a lot of Sgt. Pepper's or Pet Sounds or such like. However, every so often, there has come a record which, top to bottom, is not only excellent but also highly influential. One such is Andy Irvine & Paul Brady's 1977 self-titled duo album, the so-called "Purple Record." This album has been a huge favorite of Celtic musicians for decades, and in 2022, the good folks at Compass Records remastered it and reissued it on CD. We devoted a whole episode to the event, and that's what we'll be hearing tonight.

To listen to the show, tune your radio tonight at 10 PM EDT to WICR FM 88.7, or stream live worldwide at www.wicronline.org
