Absolutely Beautiful Celtic Music

""Marvelous! The track, "A Raindrop For Every Tear" is breathtaking. As I listened to this what came to my mind was a picture of myself going outside on a rainy day. I see the lake, the raindrops on the water and I hear the rain hitting the ground all around me. I am standing there waiting for the storm to pass by so I can get along with the rest of the day. I would like to hear more music like this. It's almost a crescendo of the whole album.
One song, "Amazing Grace," had an unusual opening, very haunting. The rest of the song came through well.
A nine year old girl I know asked what kind of music I was listening to. I told her and she said, "I like that music." There's a whole new generation of kids out there who listen to more than just the modern music idiom.
The last song "She's Like a Swallow" sung by a 14 year old peasant girl, is a 'tear your heart out' rendition of a Newfoundland Celtic song, sure to evoke a wretching of the heart, but truly beautiful in a lonely way
I would have to catagorize the album as soothing, relaxing. It's been a lot of fun reviewing this music. The opening of the album grabbed me; I wanted to hear more. I enjoy music but I really appreciate what's on this "Celtic Shores" album. In listenability I'd give it a 10." (Sherwood Fogg-NH Music Critic)
