Editorial Reviews

Although studio gloss makes it hard to tell what nature created and what is masked with over-production, this pleasant collection contains some fine vocal performances, and the contributors (Mary McLaughlin, Connie Dover, Mairéid Sullivan, and Emma Christian) have gained impressive acclaim.

June 05, 2003: Four accomplished female vocalists--Mary McLaughlin, Connie Dover, Maireid Sullivan and Emma Christian--offer haunting and heartfelt renditions of both new and traditional tunes, gently accompanied by an assortment of instruments. The voices of the vocalists, though not heard together, are remarkably well-matched--rich, velvety, resonant and bell-clear. A standout number is the striking lament “Sealwoman/Yundah” by Mary McLaughlin. My other favorites include Connie Dover’s wistful “Siuil a Ruin”, “Cantus” (her multi-tracked take on the carol “Personent Hodie”), Maireid Sullivan’s bluesy version of “The Water is Wide (Waly Waly)”, and singer/harpist Emma Christian’s plaintive “Little Red Bird”. For more music by and about Celtic Women, try the Green Linnet’s 3-CD set, “The Voice of Celtic Music”.
