I've had the privilege of attending possibly five Karan Casey performances in the past 10 years.This should tell you that I am,in fact,a devotee.This woman,along with another great diva from the British Isles,June Tabor,are my preferred female vocalists.Karan Casey and June Tabor educate,entertain,and elicit emotion.This is Karan's best:austere,warm,appropriately produced,endearing,and vital.Karan wears and lives these songs.Bravo,another masterpiece from this fine interpreter of Ireland's past.
"Ships In The Forest" is one of her mellowest Cds. Karan Casey is one Ireland's best female vocalists.
Although that is just my opinion, your mileage may vary. If you are a fan or Irish folk and contempary music I think you will enjoy this. :-) I bought this CD after it was recommended to me by Amazon.com and I am quite pleased with it. I have listened to the entire album over a half dozen times and am still enjoying every song.Karen has a pleasant singing voice and the accompiament and rythyms are entertaining as well.
I am so pleased with this album that it's hard to find the right words.I am a new listener of hers having only heard her solo albums and never one by Solas, her old band. The album is elegant, haunting, and sincere, not to meant powerful.
I am a fan of traditional music without a lot of modern flair. Her words seep through your eardrums and will make you float.
Before I bought this album, I had only heard bits and pieces from Karan Casey's myspace profile. She is accompanied by very few instruments on this album, so her voice really shines.
If you are too, you will love this album.I also recommend these albums which I also own by Casey: Distant Shore, Seal Maiden: A Celtic Musical, Chasing the Sun, and The Winds Begin to Sing It was enough to whet my appetite.
I absolutely love her voice.
We still love Solas and continue to support Karan's solo career. We loved it when she was with Solas and was a disappointed when she left. Her voice is one of the most beautiful and pure I have ever heard. OUTSTANDING. Another hit from Karan Casey.
