Reviews of Lilt's CD "X"
"...this is an achievement both for quality of the playing and the material. Don't be looking for a loan of it, either. Nobody would risk it. This is a Lilt with real fizz, platinum quality. Well done!! " - Irish Music Magazine (Dublin)
"Eck and Carr have a terrific rapport – the 10 years they’ve been playing together as a duo have clearly given them great insight into how to connect musically, and the way they show this on “Lilt X” is what gives the album its strength. ...“Lilt X” is a tuneful album that is a terrific reflection on a decade together. The music is sweet and is certain to delight fans of the band. Give it a spin! - The Irish Echo (NY)

"...It’s a lovely album of unvarnished instrumental and vocal music ... from two of the DC scene’s finest, and is one trad fans should check out and enjoy."
- The Irish Echo (NY)
