Contemporary Celtic folk from these Irish-American stars. New singer Mairead Phelan adds gorgeous vocals to the expert playing on flute, banjo, mandolin, guitar, bodhran, fiddle, accordion, and keyboards. Solid throughout, in English and Gaelic. *1. Instantly catchy set of two reels. Bright and lively. *2. Fresh and fiery story song w/good vocals & a toe-tapping bounce. 3. A sweet, dreamy opening becomes a midtempo set of dances. *4. Fragile vocals in a lush and sweeping ballad. Lovely. 5. Midtempo pop folk w/female vocals & a hint of country. 6. An old-fashioned waltz then a more contemporary mid dance. Nice. *7. Upbeat w/great strings (very cool banjo) and serious playing. 8. Downtempo Rickie Lee Jones cover. Melodic & sweeping. 9. Midtempo folk rock w/a strong beat and good use of strings. *10. Mid/uptempo set of dances, stylish and such great musicianship. 11. Downtempo, romantic ballad with sweet vocal harmonies. 12. Slow and sad with a gorgeous melody and lush arrangement. | ||
