Synopsis

Amazon.com

A sequel to Celtic Voices, Gaelic Voices is a 14-song collection culled from Green Linnet Records' most engaging and enduring artists of Irish and Scottish descent. This volume, squarely focused on the Gaelic tongue, includes relative old timers like The Bothy Band and the ever-updated Cherish the Ladies, modern Celtic mainstays Capercaillie, and neotraditionalists Altan, as well as innovative newcomers, Kila. Evoking the ancient lure and charm of the Isles, these tunes are a mixed bag of cloth workers' (waulking) songs, frolicsome mouth music, and ballads of both history and romance. Especially lovely is Relativity performing "Siun Ni Dhuibhir," a traditional broken-hearted ditty cloaked in a swirling arrangement of synthesizers, enhanced with clavinet, whistles, guitar, violin, and vocals. Also notable are contributions from Niamh Parsons and Andy M. Stewart and Manus Lunny. Perhaps redundant for serious enthusiasts of the genre, Gaelic Voices is a boon for newbies and casual listeners. --Paige La Grone

CD Reviews

Cream of the Crop

Cynthia L. Ellis | 01/21/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is not some junk album capitalizing on the craze for all things Celtic. This is some of the hottest, most creative music from several of Scotland and Ireland's best bands. Varied, ecclectic, and strong in every count. Many of the Scots and Irish Gaelic words are included, which is an added bonus. If you like Mary Jane Lamond or Ashley MacIsaac, you'd be mad to miss this one."
