From the opening track's mournful oboe, cor anglais and uillean pipes it's obvious this will be an excursion into a Celtic evening. But what starts out engaging enough, with David Arkenstone's artful blending of synthesizer and pennywhistle to the vocals of Triona Ni Dhmohnaill and Lisa Lunne's Celtic harp, soon turns dark. The tunes conjure images of the season, mournful ones for the most part, such as James McNally's "Black is the Colour" and Patrick Cassidy's concluding "Lament," though Paddy Glackin and Micheal O Domhnaill's "The South Wind" and Brian Dunning and Jeff Johnson's "A Raven in the Snow" lighten it somewhat. Still, no matter how well it's played or how soulful it is, it's pretty depressing for Christmas music. ~ Ross Boissoneau

CD Baby Music Bio:What do some of the leading folks in Sound and Inspirational work have to say? Find out..."Susan Hodge's remarkable talent to inspire the heart, infuse the spirit and dance the sacred is rare and refined. In the first minute, you will realize her genius in songwriting, performance and arranging. Hers is a calming jazz of Light. You'll want to listen to this music over and over.Don Campbell,Author of The Mozart Effect and Sound Spirit"Susan's music will open your heart and penetrate your soul. Not only is her voice an extraordinary powerful instrument of the Divine, but the essence of her music, her words and the manner in which she delivers the goods will move through you and lift you, and, if you are open, will heal you. As a professional musician myself I know when a musician is "Being on Purpose". This lady is doing what she was born to; write and sing. Susan's CD is one you will want to listen to over and over again -- I do."Dennis Merritt Jones, Author of The Art of Being, 101 Ways To Practice Purpose In Your Life"You are a wonderful song writer, first and foremost.

There are not many, if any singers that still do that for me today. You have a gift my friend."Pat Moffitt-Cook Ph.

Her style comes from personal study of a blend of Eastern and Western philosophies and techniques. In the early 90’s when personal events forced her to change the direction of her life and challenge new ways of thinking, she overcame a severe case of stage fright and literally bounded onto the stage.This leap into the Edmonton music scene began with the inception of the popular folk rock group ‘Nickelfinger’.
