The music on this album examines the lifecycle of Altan by exploring the influence of
Appalachian music on Irish music,” says lead vocalist, fiddler, and founding member Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh of
Altan’s new studio album The Widening Gyre.

After nearly 35 years together—the longest running
lineup of founding members in Irish music—the members of Altan were ready to flex their musical boundaries when
they started talking to Compass co-founder Garry West about the direction for their latest project.  With Garry in the
producer’s chair and many good friends in the studio, Altan fused the traditional Irish music that they are known
for, namely Donegal fiddling and Gaelic singing traditions, with American roots music, particularly that of the
Appalachian bluegrass fiddle.

“Garry steered the band in the studio to open up musically while somehow
managing to help us keep the integrity of Altan intact,” said Mairéad of Garry West’s production.
Recording in Nashville for only the second time and the first time for a full album, the band was able to gather many of
the roots musicians they’ve met over their thirty years together, including Tim O’Brien, Sam Bush, Jerry
Douglas, Bryan Sutton, and Compass co-founder Alison Brown. “We’ve made lifelong friends through music. The
circle has expanded over the years, and our new album celebrates those relationships. The band was totally overwhelmed
by our friends’ endless variety of contributions.”

The list of guests on The Widening Gyre is as
diverse as it is impressive. Mary Chapin Carpenter, a friend of the band since the ‘90s, lent her vocals to the
song “White Birds” to create a lush, meditative reimagining of the W.B. Yeats poem about being a bird on the
sea, an appropriate metaphor for a band who has musically and physically crossed the Altantic in the making of the
album.

Eddie Reader, “an amazing singer and very generous person,” says Mairéad, offers her
angelic backing vocals to “Far Beyond Carrickfinn.” Altan has played concerts with Reader before and they
were delighted to finally have the Glasgow native join them in the studio.

Altan borrowed the mournful waltz
“No Ash Will Burn” from the legendary Nashville songwriter Walt Aldridge. Mairéad’s crystalline
vocals unlock the Celtic undertones of the song while standing in stark contrast to the plaintive baritone of Bruce
Molsky, a long time friend of the band and well-known old-time fiddler and singer.

The bluegrass presence
shows itself most clearly on “Buffalo Gals” and “Thomasino (Thomas Tourish’s Tune),” a
lively fiddle song written by Altan’s own Ciaran Tourish. Ciaran is joined by bluegrass greats Alison Brown, Sam
Bush, Stuart Duncan, Jerry Douglas, Todd Phillips, Bryan Sutton, and Darol Anger.

Mairéad gushes about
Anger: “His unique approach gives a different color to the music which opens up amazing possibilities with Irish
traditional music. He is a true artist with that fiddle!” She also declares Duncan to be, “a
fiddler’s fiddler! He can create so many different sounds and variations on that instrument. The band was
mesmerized listening to his playing.”

O’Brien duets on “The House Carpenter (Gypsy
Davy),” a track which spotlights the shared musical roots of Irish and Appalachian music with references to both
of these historical songs. O’Brien is best known for his work with Hot Rize, but like many dedicated bluegrass
musicians, has shown a deep interest in Celtic music.

The Widening Gyre straddles time as it manages to
remind listeners of the ancient bond between Irish and Appalachian music while at the same time breaking new ground
through collaborations between masters of American roots music and Celtic music.

“The title The
Widening Gyre appeals to us and depicts the spiral of life, widening and embracing the new. It has an innate energy. We
think that idea is reflected in the album’s music,” says Mairéad.

The Widening Gyre is a
compelling development in Altan’s story provng that they are still growing as artists, even after so many years
together.
