The embodiment, charm and musical excellence of Lydia McCauley and group, August 27, 2008
This review is from: ForeignLander (Audio CD)
I first discovered Lydia McCauley at one of her concerts in my and her home city of Bellingham, Washington. She is a singer and keyboardist who "owns" both Irish and Appalachian music genres.
Lydia McCauley has an enchanting voice and performs true-to-the-tradition of the music genre.
Irish music ranges in performance from the robust Michael Flatley music-and-dance extravaganzas to the 50-or-more performers who comprise Celtic Woman in concerts and on CD. Lydia McCauley, instead, caresses Irish ballads.
She is not yet a "discovered" singer and keyboardist, but really should be.
This CD presentation combines the Irish charm in music in her vocals and, for the first time of any of her CDs, grants equal performance time to her fine musicians.
I have purchased all of her CDs and this is the one that demands to be listened to and enjoyed ten or more times each month.
This is a remarkable and most enjoyable CD, even if you're not already a fan of Irish music.
