I picked this CD up while vacationing in Colorado. I heard it in a store called (I think) "Nature's Own" and couldn't get it out of my mind. I returned a day or two later and bought it. No regrets! Each song is beautifully and lovingly performed. Her soul is all over this recording.

Some may be critical of Joanie's generous use of reverb or of the way that she ends a musical phrase by allowing the note to "drop off", which is actually a very traditional style of playing. However, the good on this CD far outweighs any criticism. The theme from "Pinehurst", a film which I have never seen nor heard of, is an excellent example of other tunes besides the love theme from Titanic which use a full string section along with a haunting whistle line. "The Cat's Meow" is pure fun and a challenge to any whistle player with its radical arpeggiations and dynamics. And the traditional "Come By The Hills" is not "messed with" which is greatly appreciated by the purists. In all, SOIW 2 has eclipsed the original and displays the artist's true diversity with an instrument which many look upon as a child's toy. Pat O'Riordan is a master craftsman whose whistles are concert instruments in the hands of such a fine player.
