From the first moment I heard a small clip of "Must Go On," I knew I had to hear more. As a dancer, I'm always looking for something fresh and alive to dance to, but I still love the classic Irish tunes I learned to dance to. Brigid Boden combines both into an album that is simultaneously inventive and traditional. Moreover, while it's a great set of songs to dance to, this album is also great when you just have to get some work done. Brigid's voice is smooth and haunting. This album is the perfect companion for long drives, late nights at the office, and lively parties. I look forward to hearing more from this fresh new artist.

Call this music by any label - Celtic, Folk, Rap (I don't think so!), it's just great listening. I also enjoy juggling to music, and this is my favorite for that. Some different tempo songs on this album give me a chance to vary my style and rhythm of throwing and catching the beanbags. Weird, I know, but . . . .

This has always been a treasure in my music library. I bought it when it was first released and wanted to share it with several celtic/world music friends but it was not available for a few years, but is once again. I think the dance mix is perfect. If you like Afro-Celt Sound System and other cross-culture music, you'll love this.

I heard this one night on the radio - about midnight on a sunday and frantically searched the car for paper and pen and then spent the next several years looking for it. It was worth the search - trully a wonderful & unique sound. Too bad this wasn't as well publicized when it came out originally.

This is a good example of the reality that there are some excellent acts that deserve much more attention. If you like Irish music and have a romantic & dancey soul, guarantee you will love this and Brigid's other album.

she really loses me sometimes with in my opinion too many lyrics devoted to love. Thats the only detractor for me the music is cool, nice dance beats, cool guitar, nice light fiddle. there are a few a ballads in here as well, she has a beautiful voice, its just the love thing kills me, if she was singing in another language that i didnt undertsand id give it 5 stars. Definately check it out though there are some really good songs.

Why did the art department make Brigid look like a raccoon on the cover? Surely celtic rap was already a hard sell without suggesting the singer is a small, nocturnal, tree-dwelling carnivore.

Brigid Boden's fresh and joyous Irish sound mixed with fun dance tracks. Worth listening to, not a must.
