Lore (Clannad album)
1996 studio album by Clannad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lore is a 1996 studio album by the Irish folk group Clannad. It was re-issued in 2005 with the bonus track "Croí Cróga (Cantoma Mix)". Lore was greeted with great acclaim by music critics worldwide, often stating that this was one of Clannad's greatest recordings. This has the most Irish Gaelic songs of all Clannad albums since 1982, and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best New Age Album, the band's second nomination, although it lost to The Memory of Trees by Enya (Eithne Ní Bhraonaín),[2] who was once a member of Clannad and is the sister of band members Moya Brennan, Ciarán Brennan and Pól Brennan as well as niece to Noel Ó Dúgáin and Pádraig Ó Dúgáin.
