Title: Smoldering Embers in the Kitchen
Review: I spent the summer up in Cape Breton and when I saw that this CD had come out at the same time I jumped on the chance to buy it.I was looking for a great sound-track CD to the trip home but I was left high and dry. About less than half of the tracks herehave some real spirit and fire but the rest fall flat and rely too heavily on the stereotypical airy, flowy, spiritually slow,mournful celtic airs. There's certainly a time and a place for that... just not on an album called FIRE in the Kitchen showinga spirited kitchen party on the cover. The decent tracks on here are from Leahy, La Bottine Souriant, Ashley MacIsaac (thoughnot as "firey" as he usually is) Great Big Sea (before they went mainstream pop) and Natalie MacMaster. Best just to downloadthose tunes individually unless you're a big fan of the Celtic Women series on PBS... then you'll probably LOVE this.
