Castles, Kirks, & Caves music CDs

$12.09

This one improves upon Somebody, with many of the same accompanists and styles represented. Dover's soaring voice is lovely and pure, and the arrangements are lively and interesting. ~ Steve Winick "I have become besotted with this album . . . having listened to The Wishing Well so many times that I have completely blown my reviewing schedule." - Lawrence Heath, Folk Roots"The music is wonderfully atmospheric, and supportive of the lyrics and the singer. Connie Dover sings with such great care and knowledge of the emotional content of the words. She has the voice of an angel. In my humble opinion we must now add Connie Dover's name to the list of the great singers of our time." - Joseph Guida, KVMR-FM, Nevada City/Sacramento, California"Her second album is so achingly pure, so timeless, it transcends the mundane world and transports me to a better, finer place . . . it just tears at me with its loveliness."- Beth Ann Koelsch, Ladyslipper News"She may come from the land of hamburgers, cowboys and cola, but Celtic musical blood runs through her veins." - Marius Roeting, New FolkSounds, Netherlands "A sumptuous listening pleasure. The Wishing Well reaffirms the fact that Connie Dover has talent by the bucketful. Essential listening." - John O'Regan, Radio Limerick, Ireland "The Wishing Well is a gorgeous and endlessly interesting set of music abetted by many of the foremost instrumentalists in traditional Celtic music. Dover has achieved the task of making an album of quiet beauty, without leaving out the passion . . . you'll want to listen to this one all evening long. And for many evenings to come. - Bob McWilliams, Kansas Public Radio"A collection as radiant as its predecessor . . . always elegant and sensual . . . the logical musical progression of an outstanding performer . . . this second CD, like its predecessor, absolutely belongs in your collection!" - Massimo Ferro, La Voce, ItalyAbout Connie Dover"Just occasionally, a voice arrives on the ...

Dick Gaughan Sail On CD (1996)

Castles, Kirks, & Caves songs

$14.65

While not the best album in Gaughan's impressive canon, Sail On is testament to the fact that he sounds best in a stripped-down setting. Unfortunately, it proves the point by a number of over-arranged pieces, like "Land of the North Wind" and "Son of Man," which utilize a band, it seems, just because they can, diluting the power of the songs. He's much better, for example, on Pete Seeger's "Waist Deep in the Big Muddy," "No Gods and Precious Few Heroes," which he tackles solo, or the very spare "The 51st (Highland) Division's Farewell to Sicily," which shows his guitar talents -- and extensive they are, too. He's a revelation on his cover of "Ruby Tuesday," and brings a wonderfully personal touch to Richard Thompson's "1952 Vincent Black Lightning" -- indeed, he's a superb interpreter of songs as well as a writer. But the good stuff simply throws into relief how little Gaughan needs the extraneous instruments, and his production, especially on the fuller arrangements, is curiously flat. But when he's good, he's very good indeed. ~ Chris Nickson Singer, guitarist, song interpreter and songwriter Dick Gaughan is one of the finest musicians of his generation. Conveying enormous depth and passion, he has been called "Scotland's Woody Guthrie," an active proponent for change capable of affecting the way you think and feel through the power of his music.With "Sail On," Gaughan has created a fine album that is full of biting sociopolitical insight, with a few romantic songs for leavening. Highlights include Michael Martin Murphey's "Geronimo's Cadillac," Pete Seeger's anti-war tale "Waist Deep in the Big Muddy," the stirring "Land of the North Wind," and his own socialist manifesto, "No Cause for Alarm." The political high point is probably Brian McNeill's "No Gods and Precious Few Heroes," a powerful work about the real Scotland, delivered with just his voice and guitar. Gaughan's guitar playing is not to be overlooked. On Richard Thompson's "52 Vincent Black Lightning" he takes the traditionally-structured modern love song and adds his own unique ...
