With an explanatory, though unwieldy, subtitle 'An Instrumental Tapestry Of Celtic Worship Based On The Prayer Of St Patrick', you get a pretty good idea of what this might sound like despite the anonymity of the packaging (no musicians are indicated) and the only info on offer is that 'A Celtic Prayer' was produced (probably in Nashville) by John Hartley. St Patrick's Lorica is still of course very popular today used as a prayer seeking God's protection and these deftly played pieces, titled after each part of the prayer - "Christ With Me", "Christ Before Me", "Christ Behind Me", etc - are effective if your heart warms to the sound of uillean pipes, whistles, etc. There are many instrumental Celtic albums already in the marketplace but this is one of the better ones.
