Four Fabulous Musicians,
By A Customer
This review is from: Made in Cape Breton (Audio CD)
I first heard the Cottars when they performed at the Lotus World Music Festival in Bloomington, Indiana, last fall. I took my teenage daughter because she plays classical violin, but she loves Celtic music. We knew that the performers are all teenagers, but we were surprised by their talent and skill on multiple instruments. They also step dance! And what a fiddler! Roseanne is amazing. But that's not all. All four of the musicians are excellent and engaging. What a performance! We bought this CD at after the concert and my daughter immediately whisked it away. I only heard it once. Then yesterday, I drove her car on a trip and she had "Made in Cape Breton" in the CD player. I listened to it over and over again. The CD is wonderfully varied, alternating vocal selections and instrumentals. I abolutely love Fiona's voice. I agree with one of the reviewers who's favorite pieces is "The Briar and the Rose," which Fiona sings with Kiernan on harmony. It's hauntingly beautiful. My favorite song on the CD is "I Know Who Is Sick." I love the drumming. Buy this CD, and if you ever have a chance to see the Cottars in concert, don't miss the opportunity to hear them live!

Just Incredible-and The Keep Getting Better!,
By Minstrel of the Realm "Bodhran Basher" (Boston MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Made in Cape Breton (Audio CD)
I first heard the Cottars when they were on tour with John McDermott. They stole the show! I've heard them many times since, and they keep getting better! My favorite song is "The Briar and The Rose." With Fiona in the lead and Kiernan adding a bit of harmony, it still brings tears to my eyes each time I hear it. And you just have to see Roseanne, who just turned 13, fiddle, sing and step-dance all at the same time! Wow! Kiernan is really great on piano and pipes (e.g., penny whistle) and guitar. And don't neglect Jimmy, who is a pro in his own right on guitar. This is a group to watch... I think they are going places! This is one of the most delightful CD's in my collection.

Amazing talent,
By A Customer
This review is from: Made in Cape Breton (Audio CD)
I learned about The Cottars through word of mouth and, after hearing some short clips on their website, I decided to buy their album. After listening to it, I am blown away by the talent of these kids. Despite their young ages, they are polished performers.Fiona's vocals are charming, Roseanne's fiddling is incredible, and the boys' accompaniment is a beautiful background for the songs. I prefer the slower vocal songs as opposed to the more lively reels. "Scarlet Ribbons" with Fiona MacGillivray and John McDermott is probably my favourite piece on the album, although none of the tracks leave any doubt that there is enormous talent here. I look forward to the opportunity to see The Cottars in person someday. In the meantime, I'm just going to enjoy this lovely album.
