This cd was difficult to obtain. I had to wait quite a while for it, but it was well worth the wait. It was also worth the money spent. She has a wonderful voice and is one oustanding pipe and whistle player. Then she does this series of 'mouth songs', traditional to her part of Scotland. She does three of them back to back which are amazing and so very fast. Looking forward to her next cd which is also out but not available on amazon yet.

I first heard Julie Fowlis watching the Hogmanay broadcast for BBC Scotland in 2005. I was transfixed in front of the tv. I felt as if I'd finally discovered something I'd been looking for for years and simply hadn't realized. Her voice is exquisite. I love the sound of the instruments. I had been of the mind that Cuilidh was a better Cd, but now I'm not quite so certain. This CD is wonderful. Tha Mo Ghaol Air Aird A' Chuain, Moladh Uibhist, and Mo Bhean Chomain are a few standout tracks for me.

This CD is truly delightful. I liked it so much I bought another one to give to someone else I know who is learning some Gaelic. We're looking forward to more beautiful things from Julie Fowlis.

This was a recommendation made by Amazon, based on another purchase I'd made, and I am throughly pleased. It was a worthy addition to my music collection.

I recently discovered that my ancesters were from Scotland and ever since I have longed to find a way to be closer, to wrap myself in my heritage. Julie Fowlis is it for me. Her voice is not only a pure bliss but her songs are just amazing. I close my eyes and I can almost feel the wind on high cliffs blowing in my face. This is the second CD I buy from her and I would recommand that lady without a second of hesitation!

Julie Fowlis is an amazing singer. I love her crisp clear tone and the Gaelic is absolutely beautiful. I also purchased her other albums Cuilidh, and Dual. I prefer Cuilidh and Mar a Tha Mo Chridhe and listen to it everyday at work! still not tired of it! There is something so calming and tranquil to the music, as well as uplifting. my family and friends can expect similar gifts this holiday season! I am in love with her music.
