This 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!
