Title: A Beautiful Album...
Review: In truth, I would have prefered giving this album a four-and-a-half star rating; it's not perfect, but it comes very close. The two songs by Karen Mathieson and Capercaille are a particular bonus; I've admired that band for years now, and to hear Karen's haunting voice in Gaelic and English is wonderful. Nancy MacCallion's number, "On We Go" is both spirited and dark, a wickedly pleasing combination here, while Mary Black's "Treasure Island" gives a melancholic yet hopeful view of life and love. Maire Bhreannan is always a joy to hear, and like with Capercaille we're blessed by a double helping. The CD ends brilliantly with Mary Black's encore piece,"Song for Ireland" and I can think of no better endpiece for the collection.I don't think I'll ever get tired of this one.
