Amazon.com Since it was released a decade ago, A Woman?s Heart, a survey of Irish female singers and instrumentalists, has become one of the best-selling Celtic music albums ever, and volume 2 sold almost as well. The present incarnation reunites the original participants but also includes Irish-American voices. Dolly Parton?s "In The Sweet By And By" and Alison Krauss?s "Down To The River To Pray" recall an old-time Appalachian tent revival. Accordionist Sharon Shannon and The Wild Bullocks resemble a hip ceili big-band on "The White Strand Sling." The Corrs obsess over an attractive deceiver on "I Know My Love," while Sinead O?Connor is tenderness incarnate on "This Is To Mother You." But Dolores Keane?s rendition of "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" is beyond poignant. Her silky alto, flanked by a mournful cello, two male singers, and a distant children?s choir, imbues a classic anti-war ballad with renewed urgency and pathos. --Christina Roden Similarly Requested CDs

Member CD Reviews Hayley S. from N SALT LAKE, UT Reviewed on 12/20/2014... This was a good cd, but not perfect in its flow. Sometimes it was a little boring. 1 of 1 member(s) found this review helpful.
CD ReviewsA Beautifully Satisfying Listening Experience Gaye A. Cocoman | Macedonia, OH USA | 09/22/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "A Woman's Heart 1 and 2 introduced me to a number of wonderful Celtic artists, most notably Dolores Keane. (Like "Mary29" I was also prompted to go out and buy as many of her CD's as I could find.) Though I thoroughly enjoyed all of the songs on "A Decade On" I was completely blown away by "Mystic Lipstick" (written by Christy Moore and sung here by Maura O'Connell), quite possibly the most hauntingly beautiful song I've ever heard. I have to believe the woman in this song is actually Ireland ... "She keeps fools for counsel, she keeps the wig and gown. The cloth and the bloody warfare, the stars and stripes and crown. And still we pray for a better day now, God willing it's for the best. But I've just seen the harp on the penny with a dollar on (...)." The imagery and heartbreak of the lyrics are conveyed perfectly by Maura O'Connell's beautiful interpretation and voice. Worth every penny for this song alone, this is one CD that I'm going to be playing over and over. (And I'll soon be having some Maura O'Connell CD's to keep my Dolores Keane CD's company :-)" An amazing CD! WLS | USA | 06/27/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "I was on a tour of Southern Ireland last year, and the tour guide played this as we drove from Dublin to Cork. The first chance I got, I went into a music store and purchased a copy for myself.
The beautiful ballad by Sinead O'Conner is worth the price of admission alone. It is a song to play when you need comforting, and a reminder that everything will indeed get better. The tour guide shared with me that he purchased it for that song alone. Everytime I play it my mind goes back to that tour and watching the beautiful green hills and small villages of Ireland go by. Buy this one...you won't regret it." |
