5.0 out of 5 stars The songs, as well as Frank Patterson's voice, are beautiful, January 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Ireland's Best Loved Ballads (Audio CD)

This is a collection of songs that you will want to sit down and enjoy the words to. Frank Patterson's beautiful Irish tenor voice speaks of love -- love for country, love between a man and a woman that has endured a lifetime; also hardship and faith. The words and melodies are as beautiful as his voice. You do not need to be Irish to appreciate his music. I first heard him on a public television video and was as captivated by his personality as I was his music. His joy of life and strong faith are readily apparent, and it is those qualities that come across in his music and set it apart. If you like beautiful ballads, you will enjoy this CD very much.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful voice teamed with beautiful arrangements, March 19, 1999

The music of Frank Patterson opens the heart to discover the pathos and joy of Ireland's history and people. This album is definitely "Ireland in Song," from the haunting and beautifully performed "Fields of Athenry" to the easily identifiable "Irish Lullaby." There is so much quality Irish music out today, and this album is among my very favorites.
