This is my favorite of the three Deanta releases. With songs like "Ready for the Storm" I think that they captured the essential magic that was hinted at in the first album.

The flute playing on this release is wonderful, but as always the highlight of Deanta's work is the almost painfully beautiful voice of Mary Dillon. She is simply incredible to listen to, one of my favorite singers of _any_ genre and her work in this album is, in my opinion, her best.

Mary Dillon is a superb vocalist who takes you to a differant place and time with her angelic voice. I often listen to Mary sing with my eyes closed...her voice is medicine for the soul. All one has to do is listen to Cullodens Harvest, The Maid that Sold her Barley and Ready for the Storm to appeciate the talent she possess.

In listening to this CD with it's numerous jigs and reels it remided me of the backround music for the movie Titanic. Every song on this CD was played to it's full potential with the musical workmanship of Mary, Deirdre, Rosie, Eoghan, Kate and Clodagh being first rate.

I'm not sure which Deanta CD is my favorite of the three, but this one sure rates very high on my list of Deanta and Celtic music in General.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mary full of Grace..., September 11, 2004

This review is from: Ready for the Storm (Audio CD)

Mary Dillon won the All Ireland Voice Championship, and she is definitely my most favorite Celtic singer (and I do happen to have a substantial library of recordings of the genre). By the way, I was classically trained and am a conservatory vocal performance graduate. That besides, anyone with a heart would be deeply touched by the beauty in Mary's voice. Of all the Celtic recordings I have the Deanta CD's are among my very favorites. All of their CD's are fenomonal. But how in the world is it possible that when I enter a search for Mary Dillon on the internet, only her sister Cara comes up (who, with all respect, sings in a genre that does not interest me). It has been too long that we haven't heard any new recordings with Mary's voice. I mean, it may be that she is busy raising children (and I know how all consuming that can be), but it is my sincere and deep wish that some day we can be expecting solo albums of Mary Dillon.
