Blending traditional and modern folk influences, Karan Casey is one of the major stars of the contemporary Irish folk scene. Her fifth album, SHIPS IN THE FOREST, is her debut for a new label, Compass Records, but it remains true to the style developed on its four predecessors. Longtime artistic collaborator Donald Shaw produces Casey's regular touring combo of guitar, cello, and piano, along with a few guest vocalists, on a solid collection of originals and traditionals. Highlights include "Black is the Colour" and the warmhearted "Love Is Pleasing."

Karan Casey: Robbie Overson, Kris Drever (guitar); Kate Ellis (cello); Cillian Vallely (pipe, pipes); Niall Vallely (concertina); Caoimhin Valley (piano); Martin O'Neill (bodhran).

Personnel: Karan Casey (vocals); Donald Shaw (accordion, harmonium, Wurlitzer organ); Caoimhin Vallely (piano).

Audio Mixer: Paul McGeechan.

Photographer: Robert Hakalski.

Arrangers: Karan Casey; Niall Vallely; Kris Drever.Dirty Linen (p.80) - "The Gaelic-sung 'Maidin Laun Chincise' demonstrates the power of her unaccompanied voice....With SHIPS IN THE FOREST Casey has set the bar quite high for singers yet to come."
Q (Magazine) (p.109) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Her otherworldly voice is unchanged, but there's a bleak sorrow here that suits her."

3 stars Soulful Music
Last night I heard her sing on Garrison Keillor's radio show and I was touched by her voice. I was especially moved by a song I had once heard years ago, I think titled, "The Fiddle and the Drum" which was beautifully sung by her. I asked for this CD, which includes this song, for a gift! I look forward to hearing more of her music. Susan Estall

Stepping off the reckless and brazen road they paved with “Hold My Beer...” the Crofters cast a mature eye towards the horizon with “It Was Easier When We Were Kids.” People who bought “Hold My Beer...” had this to say: The CD kicked ass!!!Reviewer: Ashley KennyThis CD rocked! The music can go from upbeat to slow and each song has something amazing to offer. From the bagpipes to tin whistle and vocals - everything is amazing! Great upbeat music. It's sparked a new interest in celtic rock for me.Reviewer: guy from DelawareI just found this CD while browsing the I-Tunes music store, and it's sparked a new-found interest in celtic rock for me. I've never been exposed to this kind of music before, but it really is good, or at least these guys make it good. Their rendition of "Scotland the Brave" is absolutely out of control, and the rest of the CD is very good also. I would love to hear them live sometime. "Crank" up the volume & ENJOY! This 50something fan sure did!Reviewer: Bonny MacLeod ReedSuperb blend of traditional and now generation music that will appeal to and delight audiences of all ages. Innovative arrangements for traditional favorites of Scotland The Brave and Will Ye Go Lassie Go are amazing and the fresh and inspired lyrics of I Met My Father speak to us all. A definite must have CD for all Celtic music lovers regardless of age. With it's bright, fresh and extremely talented musical appeal, this CD is going to the top fast. awesomeReviewer: joe colemangreat cd!! it rare that you fing a cd where every song is as good as the last!!! this album tops the first album 'unit no.1, glengary's proud! keep jammin' boys!!

Jancy Pa' Que Lo Bailes CD  (2007)

Ships In The Forest album
CD $16.45
In the making for eighteen months, Pa’ que lo Bailes (“So you can Dance”) includes twleve tracks that take the genre of Reggaeton to the next level. Jancy’s evolutionary brand of Reggaeton incorporates hip hop, worldbeat, bachata and salsa tunes mixed with “perreo” club rythyms. Jancy describes his first release as follows: “this album was produced with great effort so that listeners can forget about their problems, the wars and violence, because it’s all about the dancing.” Jancy, who began production on Pa’ que lo Bailes in the Fall of 2005, pounds out rhymes and rhythms that extol the sensuality and excitement of the club scene and urban life. Mixing and post-production for the album was masterfully handled by Luis Almonte at PITCH-A-ERA Studios, the studio frequently used by Daddy Yankee and Miguelito in San Juan. Songs included in Jancy’s first production, in track order, follow:1. Papi, lo que quiero es Figa feat. Kali and produced by DJ Miguelito of Link Music with Yamil.2. Sexo Suspenso feat. Charlee & Kingston with Lennox produced by Myztiko of Quebec, Canada. This song is the first single release for the album and is currently being played by radio stations across South America, especially in Bolivia and ...
