Physical CD&#8217;s will be available next week for purchase at CDBaby.com, and twenty other online stores will soon have it for sale, including Amazon and iTunes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here&#8217;s the album description:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Traditional Scottish and Irish music with a touch of pop&#8230; Gaelic sean-nos style songs and Celtic Robin Hood ballads blend with bodhran, tinwhistle,  harp, bagpipe, fiddle, keyboard, and mandolin.<\/p>\n<p>Wren Song is a Celtic family band focused on the renowned Gaelic world of traditional Scottish &amp; Irish music.<\/p>\n<p>We hope you find the roots of the past as interesting as we do. If so, we&#8217;re sure you will enjoy our unique selection of songs, some of which are based on the almost unknown Celtic tradition of Robin Hood&#8230; the following possibly played &amp; sung for the first time in hundreds of years:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>King Robin (Robin Y Righ)<\/li>\n<li>We&#8217;ll Go to the Wood (Imigh Gys Y Coille)<\/li>\n<li>I Hunt the Wren (Shelg Mi An Dreathan), and<\/li>\n<li>Shaunnie o&#8217; Braidalaw have all been resurrected from dormant Robin Hood folklore.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Adele&#8217;s belief is that the wren-hunting rituals of Celtic Britain stem from feats of rescue by Robin Hood in the forests of a misty time not yet past recall. The Shaunnie o&#8217; Braidalaw ballad, reconstructed by Adele, is actually a part of this story because the person rescued in it was Little John. Perhaps through our music you too, like Robin Hood and Little John, may be &#8220;to the greenwood gone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A special thanks to Tony Wait &#8220;<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/disneysrobin.blogspot.com\/\">Clement of the Glen<\/a><\/strong>&#8221; for the use of his spectacular photo of the greenwood at Burnham Beeches, England. <\/p>\n<p><center><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/epictales.org\/images\/EpicTalesPress_WH_NB_Small.png?w=200\" alt=\"Epic Tales Press\" title=\"Epic Tales Press\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Album photo copyright&#8230;2010 Tony Wait.
