Customer Reviews
fairy woman??
A lot of female Gaelic singers try to be all warbly and ethereal, but Kathleen MacInnes has a relaxed delivery and a sexy catch in her voice which wouldn't be amiss for pop, or even blues. A native of South Uist, she knows what she's about and there's a refreshing lack of ostentation on this album - it's neither inappropriately contemporary nor self-consciously archaic. It just is what it is. The music, with usual suspects like John McCusker, Iain MacDonald and Michael McGoldrick, is to match. The result never achieves the piercing beauty that Christine Primrose, for example, sometimes does, but it's the best thing in this line I've heard for years. This surely can't be Ms MacInnes' first album? If so, let's hope we don't have to wait too long for the second.
I don't know who produced the title 'Lullaby of the Fairy Woman', or where from. The Gaelic title actually means 'Summer Dawn'.
the finest singing from scotland
Kathleen's stunning voice is beautifully presented on this first album. There are great supporting vocals from the trio of McPhee, Fowlis and Matheson, along with a fine instrumental backing.
In the future it would be wonderful to hear more from the same team (with some songs in Scots thrown-in for us non-Gaelic masses).
Canu Gaeleg swynol!
I heard Kathleen Niconghais singing ` Jimmy Mo Mhile Stor'on the BBC Alba programme `An Tilleadh'. Her beautiful,somewhat plaintive (hiraethus) voice has to be heard. I enjoy Irish, Scottish and Welsh traditional songs sung by native singers. Well, this album is a great example of one of those. If you like it then listen to Catherine Ann McPhee another native Scottish Gallic singer. I never tire of listening to her and her songs but am so glad to have stumbled across `Og-madainn Shamraidh'
