Title: If You're A Hardcore Celtic Fan...This One's For You
Review: I ordered this CD by mistake, thinking that it was Iona of the British version (ie. WOVEN CORD, THE BOOK OF KELLS etc.). This Iona is US born and bred, except for one token Brit in the band. They have a mixture of music types from Scotland, Ireland, Wales mixed in with an Appalacian twang. I can't say that there was any selection on the album that stood out to me. I couldn't get past the hardcore celtic/appalacian sound. The quality of the recording was more like it was recorded in a pub, than in a studio. I am sure there is people out there in musicland that will like this traditional celtic sound, but I am not one of them. I am afraid I am spoiled by the meditative, inspirational and spiritual music of the British Iona group.
Is the review positive or negative?
