I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of this CD, it took three weeks between the order and the time it arrived. Was it worth the wait? Yes, but I was still a little disappointed. It wasn't the CD that I was expecting. Celtic Women 1 was an amazing CD. This was still good, but not great.

Still, the CD features some return visitors from the first and a few great songs amongst them. Aine Furey makes a triumphant return with the song Vanities child, which highlights her haunting voice. I anxiously await the release of her band, Bohinta's new CD.

Highlights are:
Rita Connolly - Valparaiso
Fiona Joyce - Lifting the veil
Aine Furey - Vanity Child

If you don't have the first one, buy it first. Followed by the Faire Celts CD which is another tremendous display of the female Celtic voice.

My wife and I bought the album "Celtic Women" a few months ago and _loved_ it. We couldn't stop playing it. We even went to the concert when it came through our city. Then I saw this and thought it was the sequel, but it is not. It is nowhere near as good. The "Celtic Women" with a blue cover and a red-haired woman's face on the front was released in 2004. This "Celtic Women 2" was released in 2000, so it is apparently a different series. If you're like me and buy this thinking that it is a sequel you will be very dissappointed.

I purchased this thinking it was the women from the PBS special. It wasn't, and it wasn't nearly as good. The singing had no emotion and the song selection wasn't that great. Skip and buy the real thing with Meav, Lisa, Chloe, et al. I gave this one and Celtic Woman, Vol. 1 away.

Do not recommend if you are looking for music similar to the Celtic Women Video.

I purchased this CD for my husband because he so enjoyed the first Celtic Woman CD I had purchased for him. We have not enjoyed this CD as much as the first one. It hss grown on us, however, as we listen to it more. Several of the songs are very different and not at all what I thought would be on the CD. I assumed it would be the same artists as the first one and would have similar songs to the first one. The service I received in ordering this CD was great.

I was THRILLED when I saw there was a follow-on CD to the wonderful "Celtic Woman" CD! Now I'll be more cautious if a "Celtic Woman 3" comes out & listen to it somewhere before buying it. Don't musicians realize that pumping something out just 'cuz they're "hot" isn't always the smartest thing? You can tell the original "Celtic Woman" was fine tuned to perfection, "2" is NOT.

I really enjoy the music on this CD, and I like it that there are several different singers and song styles. I do find myself skipping songs that I've heard once or twice though, in order to only listen to the ones I REALLY like. I am into the softer, harmonic music.

This was a gift for my husband, who loves the original Celtic Women Vol. 1. He was dissapointed because it is not the same artists or the same style of music. He actually changed to another CD before getting to the end.

It was a good Celtic CD but not as good the Celtic Woman CD. There is a nice variety on the CD. I wish I would have heard it before purchasing it.

We fell in love with this CD.
The music is fantastic and the women singing sound like angels.
We heard them on the public T.V. and I had not heard them before
so I was glad to find them available on Amazon.The songs go from
lovely new ballads to old well remembered songs.
