I was lucky enough to see The Browne Sisters and George Cavanaugh perform live at the Seaside Scottish Games; just one set and I was hooked and perfectly content to listen to them for the rest of the weekend.

If you enjoy Irish/Celtic/Folk music, you won't go wrong with any of their albums, and this is one of the best!

What a great opportunity for me to listen to a group that I had not heard before and then share it with you all.
I am not a musician but an appreciator of Celtic/Irish/Scots music. It is all I listen to these days.
What a lovely sound the Browne sisters make with their music, the adding the voice of George Cavanaugh as well as others who contributed to this CD.. I would be hard put to pick a favorite from this group of songs. They are all very well done.
I just hope that one day the Browne Sisters and George C. will make it to Texas so I can see them live. This is a excellent CD..

5.0 out of 5 stars Celtic music at its best!, November 6, 2004

This kind of album is why I listen to Celtic music! It ranges the full emotional gamut from heartbreaking to exhilirating. I had not heard of George Cavanaugh and the Browne Sisters before this and had some reservations at first. Generally, when a group has multiple lead vocalists there is at least one that is just not as strong as the others. That does not seem to be the case at all with this group. Although I found myself particularly drawn to George Cavanaugh's rich voice, the ladies also do a beautiful job, each with a distinct sound of her own, but capable of blending together quite nicely. The version of Spancil Hill found here is flat out, no question, the best I have heard and Bonnie Portmore is right up there. This Land Is Mine touches a very personal note and I was hard put not to start crying the first time I really listened to it. Overall, I'm putting this solidly in my top ten of Celtic CDs and highly recommend it to anyone with a love of the genre!
