Title: Bland, Middling Folk-A3
Review: She's an attractive woman and I know she's big in Ireland but here in the US, her appeal escapes me beyond her looks - I suppose the British might feel the same way about the US artist Jewel. She sounds vaguely like Nancy Griffith but she her voice is mostly, at best pleasant but the bigger problem that she sings EVERY track in one montone voice without any emotion or even a key change (unlike Nancy Griffith) ... then you compound weak lyrics and weak melodies - and you pretty much have nothing very distinctive. It's not horrible, it's just bland, slight and at best - pleasant. So, fine if you're seeing her live at a coffee shop but just listening to her on a CD? Not much to recommend on a disc that purports to be her "greatest hits."
