about

Produced by legendary Irish fiddler Kevin Burke, "After the Morning" moved the dulcimer to new levels of sophistication. A beautiful record, it was a Book of the Month Club selection.

“The beautiful sleeve art displays visually what is waiting for us aurally inside… to transport us across oceans and eons of time. The full range of the dulcimer is displayed… driving energetic and almost hypnotic, or delicate and transparent.” – Come For To Sing

"After the Morning" was originally released in 1983 on Kicking Mule Records. Dulcimer tablature for many of the songs on this album may be found in "The Complete Collection of Celtic Music for Appalachian Dulcimer." (Mel Bay)
