"Where are you," Deanta?
I'll be direct in this review to save you time. This is the finest album of Celtic or Celtic-inspired music I have ever heard, and I'd consider myself just a tick below the threshold of avid fan. The emotional range of the songs is incredible, and the vocal stylings are perfect in each song where they are present, while the instrumentals each offer an entirely different feel from the rest of the album.
Without a doubt, "Where are you" is one of the most emotionally charged songs I've ever heard in my entire life, and Ms. Dillon absolutely tears your heart out with each and every syllable. If you're not sure about buying the album, I'd suggest you pony up the small fee to download that song by itself to see what you think. Trust me, it will become an instant favorite.
Beautiful, inspiring and moving.
If there ever was a secret in celtic music, it is broken like a shout in Deanta's Whisper of a Secret. 12 songs bring again the essence of this beautiful, inspiring and moving music. This group of musicians have the gift of giving us a portion of their culture through music. If you enjoy the feeling that well played celtic music brings to the spirit, here you will find 59 minutes of celtic music food for your being.
a beautiful album
The musical variety of this album makes it stand apart from all of the other celtic albums in my collection. Mary Dillon's voice is hauntingly beautiful - never more so than in the song, "Lone Shanakyle". A must have if you are a fan of Irish/Celtic music.
One of the best things that happened to Irish music
This is the album which I consider the best album in my CD-collection. It is unique and it is like a cure. It shows the softness of women's voice, energy of reels and jigs and skills of band which lives the music and you can feel it. "Song Where are you" is my favourite but it always makes me almost cry. It is full of emotions. Instrumentals are played in the most beautiful way and I like the jazzy rhythm in "Paddy and the Bandit" which is great followed with a saxophone. If you love Celtic or Irish music do yourself a favor and buy this CD because you just can't be disappointed with it. Don't ask how much it costs, just buy it and enjoy it! This is the perfect thing to wake you up in the morning (it wakes me up almost every morning) or to relax you, free your mind and bring a lot of positive energy and strength for living. I repeat: Buy it! Buy it! Buy it! Buy it! You will be sorry if you don't buy it (I would have been sorry now if i hadn't have buy it).
Buy It!
Well, this is my first Deanta CD and I ephatically give it 5 stars and a must buy if you love Celtic music. The songs transend ordinary music in that they pick you up, yet relax you at the same time. Two days to Go (opening song) is so well done that I used it on sleepless nights to relax me into slumber and yet this very song has jump started many a mornings for me.
Mary Dillon's voice is superb and sounds a wee bit like Karan Casey...but a little more smooth and refined. Willie and Mary is sung well and shows off her vocal talents and the numerous reels and jigs show off the groups musical skills and make this a CD well worth buying.
p.s. If you love Mary Dillon, check out Karan Caseys debut CD Songlines and anything of Connie Dover. You won't be disappointed.
