5.0 out of 5 stars Enchanting and heartfelt, 30 Mar 2007
By David J. Baker (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is Julie's second album and is even more charming and wonderful than the first, with more rounded arrangements and wonderful backing from the likes of John McCusker and Michael McGoldrick. Yes all the lyrics are in Gaellic, and no I don't speak it, but I am won over by Julie's beautiful clear voice and by the homely charm of it all. Pop/rock it is not, you could call it Gaellic folk - the tunes are from her home of North Uist (Outer Hebrides), but that would be condemning it to the few wheraes Julie deserves to be heard by anyone who loves simple beautiful songs sang in a heartfelt and sincere manner. Check out the translated lyrics - Julie sings like her heart is breaking then you find the song is about a farmer spreading manure! - it all adds to the old world charm. In somes ways she's like a Scottish Kate Rusby - certainly the John McCusker fiddling underpinning some of the arrangements gives it a similar sound, and the songs are sometimes about girls pining for sailors gone off to sea (very Kate). Very relaxing and life affirming.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful voice, endlessly listenable and engaging, 19 Jun 2007
By Martin Thomas (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I also own Mar a Tha Mo Chridhe and it too is an excellent album. Julie Fowlis is a truly exceptional singer, having a voice that seems magical, with a clear, beautiful and pure tone - always a perfect fit for the engaging acoustic accompaniment of the fine supporting musicians. In that sense Julie Fowlis has made such a well-balanced album, endlessly listenable, engaging and overflowing with the clarity and emotion of her voice. On the basis of her recordings I saw her sing live on her 2007 tour with her band, including her man Éamon Doorley of Danú fame, and what a fine treat it was. Highly recommended. If you have any doubts then listen to the tracks within Julie's myspace.com site and be convinced.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully fresh and utterly charming, 21 May 2007
By M. I. R. Clarke "ian clarke" (northern ireland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Shame on me but Julie Fowlis is a new name in my collection. However I know most of the musicians on the album and it is to Julie's credit that she's not overpowered or intimidated by such company. Shades of Clannad, Altan and Capercailie. The songs (all in Scots gaelic) are delivered in her lovely clear, warm voice - coping with a variety of themes and tempos effortlessly. Even better, these are unfamiliar songs, sung with feeling, arranged with restraint and subtlety and unadorned by intrusive "modern" influences or unnecessary gimmicks. You can just let the album flow over you and relax like you're on holiday in the Highlands. No new directions here then, just friendly, charming, reassuring surroundings. Encore.

4.0 out of 5 stars Captivating
Recommended by a friend, I was a little dubious about buying a Scottish folk music album. However the beauty of the voice and the musicianship wins through.

5.0 out of 5 stars Musician's musician
Well, I'm going to add my voice to the chorus.

As I write, there are no musical samples available on Amazon; but I saw the glowing reviews. Read more
