...as a previous reviewer noted. I thought one or two of the tracks were pretty forgettable (Mary's Boy Child, Miss Fogarty's Christmas Cake), despite the evident talent of some the artists (particularly Fionnuala O'Donovan).

However: Navan's rendition of "Silent Night" is a piece of jaw-dropping beauty, as is "Ambran Oiche Mhaith (Song of Night)."

I'm not much into that tin pan alley, Danny-boy and Celtic Woman version of Celtic music...Navan is more my cup of tea. So don't just buy this CD; pick up Lowena.

While you're at it, grab Kitka's Wintersongs.

Then, your Christmas music collection will be complete. Even if you're an atheist like me. ;)

Be ready for goose bumps. This is such a beautiful CD. Some funny songs too! It's a favorite!

I am a Celtic Music Fan, but was disappointed in this album. It was steady, but not up to what I wanted. It did not have continuity or a theme as it kind of meandered from one type of song to another. I did not think the music that good either.
