Review: "For Love And Laughter" by Solas Artist: SolasAlbum: "For Love And Laughter" Year produced: 2008 This band needs no introduction for most serious fans of Celtic music--they've been around for a while and have carved out quite a nice reputation for themselves. Interestingly, they are from the United States, but have developed a following beyond US borders. The band headlines at many of the major Celtic festivals, and has only gotten more interesting since their debut in 1996. This album, "For Love And Laughter," delivers the band's own particular brand of Celtic music. The combination of stellar musicianship and sweet, gentle vocals is a good one. There are only top-notch players here, as is evidenced by the precision play you will hear when things speed up and really get moving. The skill is also reflected by the individual players--each of which has a serious reputation in the industry all on their own. When they all come together--there is passion. With each new album this band continues to push themselves a bit more. This CD is another example of what can happen when a group doesn't just sit back and rest on their previous efforts. Moving forward and moving expertly, Solas keeps up the pace and gives their listeners something to delight in here. Catherine L.

Review: "O Mo Chroi" by Ciara Considine Artist: Ciara ConsidineAlbum: O Mo Chroi Year produced: 2008 This is truly a wonderful compilation of songs from Ciara Considine. You can tell that this woman's entire life has been steeped in music. She has formal training in piano and flute, and has studied music at the college level as well. As her love for Irish folk music grew, Considine taught herself the harp, Celtic lyre, tin whistle and Irish flute, making her an extremely well-rounded musician. We all know that training does not necessarily an artist make, but in this case, it helped form the depth and breadth of the music you hear. Considine's voice is without a doubt one of the most interesting I've ever heard. She has a rich, full sound, and is able to convey both emotion and energy through her vocals. On tracks like "She Moved Through The Fair," her voice takes on an ethereal quality, adding yet another dimension to the song. Each track is expertly crafted and the arrangements are fresh and interesting. The real gem of the album, however, is Considine's voice, used as instrument; both blended and contrasted with the music, depending on what is called for. The music left me feeling satisfied--much like a wonderful dinner with all the trimmings. Catherine L. Tully is a freelance writer and photographer who specializes in the arts.
