"Calling What a Time!: A Forty Year Celebration 'long-awaited' is an understatement. It's been over a quarter century since Ryan's Fancy stopped recording and touring and these songs have been sorely missed ever since. There's never been another vocal blend like Fergus O'Byrne, Dermot O'Reilly and Denis Ryan, whose music spanned the Irish and Atlantic Canadian tradition with incredible heart and soul. They could sing and play with the best of them, but the beauty of these recordings lays in the rough edge of peat smoke and strong whiskey that rose up out of the grooves, as if there wasn't that great a distance between the pub and the recording studio. Ryan's Fancy could summon moments of beauty without making the music too pretty, and play the drinking songs rough and ready without letting the seams show. Many of these renditions are definitive, The Ryans and the Pittmans and Mist Covered Mountains of Home come to mind, and are more than ready to be rediscovered."--Stephen Cooke, Halifax Chronicle Herald
