"I have listened to the "The Soul of Christmas", "Cathie Ryan", and "The Music of What Happens". I have enjoyed them all. "Cathie Ryan" is Cathie's first album on her own since Cherish the Ladies. Each song on this album has an interesting celtic origins which Cathie has related at her performances. I consider Cathie to be one of the top performers in Irish Music performing today. This album is a testament to that. I have met Cathie and seen her in performances and she puts everything into bringing the right atmosphere to a performance getting herself and the audience really into the music. She has actually lived through much of her music which makes it special. My favorites from the album are Ned on the Hill and White Dress. I am looking forward to another album by Cathie Ryan."
A Rave Review!

"Cathie Ryan's debut solo album is not only a "must-have" for Celtic and Irish music lovers, but for anyone who would appreciate her tender vocals and haunting scores. Particularly impressive is "The 12th of July". The album carefully weaves traditional songs with her own contemporary ballads, producing a mix of titles that is sure to reach a wide audience."
