Simply Perfect

By Michele J. Raffaele on March 12, 2005

Format: Audio CD

"Simply Perfect" is how I would describe Connie Dover's first solo album, "Somebody" which truly showcases the diversity of this stunning artist. Several Celtic artists contribute their instrumental abilties, including Manus Lunny on guitar and bouzouki, Christy O'Leary on uileann pipes and whistle, Aly Bain on fiddle and Phil Cunnigham on keyboards, accordion, whistles, and cittern. Cunningham also produced the album, and went on to produce Connie's other three albums, "The Wishing Well" "If Ever I Return" and "The Border Of Heaven"

The album begins with the anguished "Somebody" a tale of lost love and the heartbreak that accompanies it. "My heart is sore for Somebody" she sings with a touch of sadness in her voice.

The tone is still melencholy, but a bit darker for "The Baron Of Brackley", a ballad based on an alledged real-life feud between John Gordon of Brackley and John Farquharson of Inverey, Braemar. Many of Connies songs tell a story, which this one vividly does so. I like to call them "story-songs"

Connie also does many instrumentals, which "On Castle Rock" is one of. The song, composed by Connie herself is the name given to the large volcanic rock formation on which Edinburgh Castle stands. Very mellow and peaceful.

Lough Erne's Shore is yet another tale of romantic angst. A pastoral love song form the north Ireland, Connie sings from the man's point of view, about falling instantly in love with a fair maddien on the banks of Lough Erne's Shore. The instrumental bridge in this song is absolutely breathtaking.

The tone is once again shifted dramatically in "Jack Of Diamonds", a 19th century American song, whose roots can be traced back to Scotland.Read more ›

A softer album from a beautiful artist

By bethtexas on April 28, 2001

Format: Audio CD

This album focuses more on Celtic aires than her other albums. Most of the songs are gentle, long-playing classically-styled aires that sound absolutely heavenly. She certainly has more than enough voice to carry off an album like this, and it is one her fans will treasure forever. It does lack some of the excitement of her later works because there's not as much variety from song to song. Each one is a long, gentle piece. But it's an album worth having, and in it, she certainly proves that she has all the voice and sophistication of any other classic-Celtic artist out there.

Rosemary's Sister is a masterpiece

By J Scott Morrison HALL OF FAMETOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on January 16, 2002

Format: Audio CD

I'm writing this review because I think 'Rosemary's Sister', about the blitz in WWII England is not only a brilliant song, the performance is nonpareil. And I will admit that I have to choke back a tear each time I hear it, and I've listened to it at least fifty times.
I own all of Connie Dover's CDs. She is a national treasure.

Well Worth Buying

By Cheryl Iaconis on February 6, 2000

Format: Audio CD

Just a great CD. I've been listening to this for weeks and the songs keep getting better and better. My personal favorites are The Baron of Brackley, Lough Erne's Shore and An Air For Mary Tipton. The purity and beauty of Connie's voice is match only by Loreena Mckennitt. Anyone buying "Somebody" WILL NOT be disappointed.

Highly original and beautiful music

By Peter Wright on July 16, 2013

Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase

I am not sure how to classify Connie Dover: Folk, Jazz, Popular; nothing seems quite right. Some of the music on this CD is traditional (Scotland, England and US), and some is completely new. Dover has a beautiful and haunting voice, and her interpretation of these songs is brilliant.

Voice of angels

By Gary Buchheim on January 23, 2000

Format: Audio CD

I have never seen or met a real angel, but I imagine they must all have a singing voice like Connie's. I was fortunate enough to see Connie in a small venue concert once and look forward to the next opportunity. Can't wait to get her next album. I think tracks 4 and 6 are the best on this album, but actually they are all quite good.

Talented woman sounds great.

By C. Parker on February 13, 2014

Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase

I enjoy Celtic and American folk music, and Connie Dover combines the 2 in many of her cds. She has a great voice and sings with clarity. I've met her in person at one of her concerts, where she autographed my cd. Very friendly person.

Fantastic

By Gerald W. Eves Jr. on July 2, 2013

Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase

Heard Connie first on Pandora and enjoyed the sound so much I just had to hear more, so I bought four of her albums. Great Celtic music and a great voice similar to Loreena McKennitt, Maire Brennan, Enya. .

One of the most beautiful voices. Her presentation is similar to Judy Collins with a hint of Sarah Bright-man.

What Celtic/folk music should sound like

There has been a wave of "New Age" folk/Celtic music in the last ten years. Most of it has the tempo of a funeral dirge. Read more
