Another Sky


Another Sky is the seventh studio album by Irish traditional band Altan. It was released in February 2000 on the Narada Productions label.

Overview

The album title "Another Sky" derives from a line in Steve Cooney's song "Island Girl", which Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh sings on the album with Cooney himself as accompanist. This album is a slight departure from previous Altan albums, in that there is a Bob Dylan song. The album also features the Scots language song, "Green Grow The Rushes" by Robert Burns. A video was released for the Irish track "Beidh Aonach Amárach".
Another Sky was also mixed by nine-time Grammy Award-winner Gary Paczosa.
