5.0 out of 5 stars My early introduction to traditional Celtic music, March 19, 2001

By	T. Morrison "bluedevilsf" (Eagan, MN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Years ago, I first heard "The Bonny Light Horseman" (from this album) on an Irish music program broadcast on St. Louis public radio. When I discovered the album from which it came was readily available on CD, I immediately got a copy on the strength of this one song.

It was my first real introduction to traditional Celtic music, the real stuff -- not this retreaded New Age stuff that passes for "real" Celtic music today.

Today I got out my copy and listened to it and remembered how truly wonderful it is. Dolores Keane's voice, to me, embodies all that Celtic music is: earthy, lyrical, rough yet soft, capable of evoking tears as well as joy. John Faulkner's understated instrumentation/arrangements and equally capable voice set a consistent tone throughout the entire album.

As the album title suggests, these tunes aren't exactly light and happy, but then again, Celtic music embodies real life. If you're looking for a fine introduction to the "real stuff," one cannot go wrong with this album.
