Celtic Woman - Songs From The Heart...

Tweet

Ok, I’m going to be blunt and honest here. I’m not the type of person who is ‘worldly’ with their music. I can’t sit here and lie to you and say I enjoy lots of different types of music, because honestly it’s very few and far between that I’ll like something that’s not hip hop, R&B, reggae or pop music. I can’t say that no matter what I’ll give it a try because honestly, I won’t. However, I was sent a CD called “Songs from the Heart” from Celtic Woman. I honestly have not listened to it, and can’t say that I will. More than likely, it’s a CD I’ll be giving to my mother since she’s a big Celtic music fan (*shudders* I can’t stand it!).

I have a wide range of readers, most of who I’m sure don’t have the same musical tastes as myself, so I strive to let you all know about things heck, even I might not be interested in but know my readers might. Celtic Woman is one of them.

About Celtic Woman:

Celtic Woman are an all-female vocal ensemble performing various traditional and contemporary Celtic-based songs. Often compared to such artists as Clannad, Enya, and Loreena McKennitt, Celtic Woman also put on a live stage show that shares much in common with similarly minded shows such as Riverdance and Lord of the Dance. A live performance by Celtic Woman was filmed for broadcast on PBS in 2004 and debuted a year later with an accompanying CD and DVD. The holiday-themed A Christmas Celebration appeared in 2006, with A New Journey following in 2007. As well as the group recordings, each member of Celtic Woman has released her own solo album. ~ Matt Collar, All Music Guide.

I’m not that sheltered that I haven’t HEARD about Celtic Woman before, they’re pretty popular and have a lot of devoted fans, myself, I’m just not one of them. Celtic Woman’s Songs from the Heart album debuted at #9 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and #1 on the billboard World Music Chart.
