Quietly Beautiful,
By
This review is from: Silvery Moon (Audio CD)
I picked up a copy of this CD at the Dublin (Ohio) Irish Festival after hearing Aoife perform the wistful "Across the Blue Mountains." I had to hear more, and I'm not at all disappointed.Aoife (former soloist with Cherish The Ladies) explores the classic and contemporary folk music of the British Isles and Appalachia on this third solo recording. The arrangements are appropriately soft and acoustic, as they naturally complement Aoife's voice. Several songs have a bluegrass sound - think of Alison Krauss & Union Station. Highlights are without a doubt "Across the Blue Mountains" with the sweet harmony vocals of Julee Glaub and Aoife O'Donovan, and "Kisses Sweeter than Wine," a duet with her father, Bobby Clancy. "The Nightbird" and "Are You Sleepin', Maggie" also stand out as lightly Irish-tinged soft folk gems. I gave a rating of 4 out of 5 stars because it would be nice to hear some more upbeat songs here, and I know Aoife could do an amazing job with those. This is quiet night music, which is fine, but it leaves you wanting a bit more.

Soulful Celtic,
By Serenity (On the beach) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Silvery Moon (Audio CD)
I first heard the title piece "Silvery Moon" on AOL Radio's Celtic station. As you know, many times one song that you love from an album doesn't always apply to the rest of the songs on the album. This is one very pleasant exception; I love every piece on "Silvery Moon."
I highly suggest it if you appreciate today's Celtic works. |
