Ravin' about Raven

Raven is a beautiful example of what two skilled musicians can do with a style they obviously love. The passion in their playing could not be fabricated, and makes this album a joy to listen to. Even though the songs might not be canon now, the way they play this music should be.

The Killdares new album is secret no longer

CD review

5/9/2008, Liz Patton

Secrets of the Day is The Killdares’ fifth album, released ten years after their first album Broken with a Word. This album demonstrates The Killdares’ approach to Celtic/Rock fusion. The piping and fiddling on this album are an excellent demonstration of a non-traditional approach to playing those instruments. The problem with this album is drums are way too loud compared to the other instruments. That and the effects on the vocal track make it very hard to hear the lyrics.
