Artist: Siren's Song
Album: "Starlight and Shadow"
Year produced: 2004

Just four ladies make up this band, but they can put forth a lot of music! The group plays over 20 instruments, which means you'll hear a lot of variety, although guitar is a clear favorite. Not neatly fitting in any genre, they tip-toe through pop, folk and Celtic stylings. This isn't an issue, however, it's nice!

Those who long for the sea will dream away with Siren's Song, as they prefer this type of subject matter. The soft harmonies float through the songs like a gentle wind and leave you feeling the emotion; you don't even need to hear the words. Songs such as "Tears Of The Moon" and "Song Of The Siren" really leave one transformed by the end as you relax and get into the sounds offered up by these ladies.

The band was established in 1996 and each of the women that are involved has quite a resume when it comes to music. You'll hear the decades of experience reflected in the musical abilities, and certainly in the vocal quality of each of them. Rich, varied and just plain pretty, this CD is sure to find a place in your heart.
