"Henry Joy" astounds!, January 4, 2007
This review is from: The Irishy Girl (Audio CD)
The song Henry Joy is truly enchanting and gripping.
For more than a moment, Kate suspends time as she weaves, to her own brand of beautiful music, the poignant story of this protestant maverick who stood out for the cause of Justice.
With this song and others, Kate displays poetic faith in and earnest yearning for the mystical and better Worlds, perhaps accessible by us through healing, justice, insight, empathy, and political consensus, she also sings of.
If you haven't heard it, I strongly recommend that you do so.
This may be where new music begins.

Authentic and Magical, November 26, 2011
This review is from: The Irishy Girl (Audio CD)
The Flower of Magherally is my current favorite, though I confess the poignant Henry Joy takes the top spot at other times. If I'm more in the mood for Irish language, then it's Mal Bhan or Ta Na Baid. Through and through, this CD is an amazing collection of songs that captures how Kate sings in concert. There is little production needed for these songs - you can close your eyes and hear her playing harp or piano, and singing just as if you were there live with her. Dulaman will be familiar to many who listen to Celtic music, and while I'm sure you'll enjoy Kate's take on it, this CD will introduce you to many other songs that you'll return to again and again.
