Title: A huge disappointment
Review: I finally gave Muireann a try with this album because it kept coming up in Amazon's recommendations. Frankly, it's $18 I wish I could get back. She'd got a good voice, but the songs here go back and forth between solid Celtic and what might as well be Texas folk. This is a style that seems to crop up periodically amongst female Irish singers, as if some of them secretly wish they were Eliza Gylkison or Nanci Griggith, and can't be happy with who they are.The one-third of the album that is truly Celtic is fine (not great, but okay), the rest is atrocious. Long, rambling lyrics matched with a total lack of melodic sensibility, as if Muireann had written some sappy 70s poetry and then threw notes on it during the recording session.I'm not quite sure why she is getting such high recommendations. My vote, go back to Deanta or Capercaillie and leave this one in the dustbin.
Is the review positive or negative?
