Review: "Out on The Ocean" by BardicRoseThis is a pretty album, full of different emotions and executed very well. The band is from central Florida, and they have played together for quite some time. It shows. The harmonies are complex and flawless and the arrangements are interesting without being overdone. Both instruments and vocals evoke emotion here, something that doesn't always play out well on Celtic albums. There are quite a few tracks to choose from here, and each offers the listener something a little different. A nice mix. The band describes themselves as a Celtic-Folk-Renaissance-Medieval-Rock-Acoustic band, which makes them seem like they couldn't decide what they wanted to do. In reality, you can see these influences ebb and flow through the different tracks and flavor them as a good mix of spices would add to a nice Irish stew. Delicious. I really enjoyed this CD and would recommend it without hesitation to even the most particular listener of Celtic music. It has got all of the ingredients right there. Taste it and enjoy!

Review: "For My Grandfathers" by Terry GriffithThe title of this album, For My Grandfathers, gives listeners a clue as to where Terry Griffith is coming from as an Irish-American. You can feel the affection he has for Ireland come through in his music, and this nice collection of tunes provides a lovely selection of songs for any occasion. The title track is heartfelt, and there is something really enjoyable about Griffith's voice that shines through on every track here. You can tell that in his heart he is never far from his ancestors, even though he lives in the USA. On this album you'll find songs to sing along to, such as "Red Rose Cafe," as well as those to just enjoy, like "Ride On". Irish ballads combine with acoustic instrumentation to form the backbone of this CD, making it perfect for the traditional Celtic music lover. This type of album is one to savor when you feel like connecting with Ireland. Between the instruments, vocals and emotion here, you'll feel close indeed. Neither too long or too short, the collection of songs is sure to satisfy. Catherine L. Tully is a freelance writer and photographer who specializes in the arts.

Review: "Thistle" by Scott BoswellYear produced: 2008 Those who heard Scott Boswell's first CD, "Jug of Punch" will be in for a little bit of a surprise when they hear "Thistle". This effort is all original, representing Boswell's own sense of musical style. The album is almost entirely devoid of vocals, bringing a tight focus to the music and arrangements. Far more progressive than his first effort, this takes the Celtic sound and turns it on its side. This may be a good CD for those who really enjoy hearing a unique representation of the Celtic sound side by side with other musical influences. Don't expect the same gentle feel on every track that the first album gave. Some of the songs here deliver a sound that is far different. Still, phrases come through that recall the sweet flute and calm stylings of the former CD. You can hear that influence here. Listen for mandolin, whistles and slide guitar, all of which add dimensions to the music that broaden the sound. At times this CD even calls forth a "blues" feel, but the underpinnings are still Celtic. Great for the progressive listener who wants something different. Catherine L.
