This is, without a doubt, Susan's best album yet. Her voice has matured and her style is fully developed, leaving us with a delightful, refreshing taste of not-so-traditional Irish music. Every track is beautiful, even the somewhat-critized "Oró Mhíle Grá (A Thousand Times My Love)", though the sound is definitely one that takes some getting used to! "Sweet Liberty" and "Caledonia" are two lovely Celtic ballads that you'll listen to over and again.

This album is also a must-have for fiddle-legend Johnny Cunningham fans. The last track, "When I Was on Horseback", a particularly haunting and poignant song, was recorded just one day before Johnny passed away, in December of 2003.

If you're going to buy just one Susan McKeown album, make it this one!

Seller delivered in a fast manner. The disk was in great condition. Love the album.

Filled with haunting melodies and rhythms, "Sweet Liberty" is an item not to miss. I'm so glad I was up late, listening to her interview on NPR one evening!

"Oró Mhíle Grá (A Thousand Times, My Love)" is one of my favorites. The combination of voices and drums from such an unconventional team quickly hooks the listener.

She is expecting to release a new compilation in 2006 and I am looking forward to it!

This CD is just like all previous McKeown releases: wonderful voice and great singing.
