Sirius is the tenth album by Irish folk group Clannad, released in 1987. It features several guest artists such as Bruce Hornsby, Steve Perry and J.D. Souther.
The cover of Sirius shows a newly blonde Moya Brennan with the rest of Clannad standing beside a waterfall on the River Crolly in their hometown of Gweedore (Gaoth Dobhair).
Ty Burr at Spin wrote, "The production runs thick and deep, and that’s both good and bad. The effect is like a beautiful antique table that some schmoe decided to cover with three layers of Lucite varnish. I mean, I like this album, but it took me about ten listens to get past the production and figure that out."[1]
