Close to the Floor is another of those anthologies that works. With a focus on Newfoundland dance music, the album is a merry romp through accordion and fiddle sets by some of today's best dance-music performers. Great for your step-dancing practise and guaranteed to put a smile on your face even when you're driving home through rush-hour traffic.
