5.0 out of 5 stars Ceol Anam--"Music Soul", November 25, 1999

This is one of the finest Celtic guitar CDs I've ever listened to. John and Carol's playing styles blend flawlessly--melodies and harmonies are woven into a rich musical tapestry that captures each nuance of the traditional Celtic tunes they play. From bright jigs to haunting airs, these musicians, have, indeed, tapped into the Irish "ceol anam" ("music soul").

I love traditional Irish music -- especially Irish guitar music. There was only one sample available from this album, but I enjoyed it enough to take the chance. (The actual sample was of Track 1, not of Track 17 as indicated.) The gamble paid off. Each of these artists is a great talent. They play with a beautiful spirit and their songs communicate the aesthetic and romance of old Ireland. The real treat is how well these two play together. Truly outstanding! I cannot stop listening. My hat is off to them, and my thanks to them for breathing life into a world beaten down with bad news. I believe that anyone who enjoys the music of Pat Kirtley, Donal Clancy or Randall Bays will enjoy Carol Barney and John Sherman's Ceol Anam, too. Sadly, when I searched for more information on Carol, I found a memorial page, written apparently by John Sherman. But let it not end here, for that spirit which is all that was Carol will cross our paths again, undoubtedly with beauty.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful, soulful music, November 13, 2000

This review is from: Two Guitars (Audio CD)

This is a lovely album. The first time I played it for some friends, one of them said "I had no idea guitars could sound like this." Another friend swears that it never leaves her CD player; she listens to it every evening to wind down at the end of the day. Most of the cuts are instrumental - 2 guitars, augmented occasionally by other instruments - and there are 2 vocal tracks, one sean nos song by Brigit Fitzgerald and a final song done by Sue Mogan-Mattison,with John and Carol singing harmonies. There is an error in the Amazon listing at this time - there are 17 bands on the recording, rather than just the one listed here.
