Artist: Nancy Daily-Green
Album: Delia’s Hearth
A sweet album with an even sweeter sound. That really says it all here.
Nancy Daily-Green has a lovely approach, and her vocals are pretty, as well as rich with feeling. The accompaniment here is delicate, yet well done, and the gentle touch gives many of the tracks here an almost magical feel. Dedicated to Delia O’Halloran, Daily-Green’s neighbor in Ireland, this CD will be something you’ll savor if you’re a fan of ren faire music.
The folk songs compiled here reflect b0th traditional and original music, and they have been chosen carefully to evoke everyday life in the Connemara areas of Counties Galway and Mayo. This isn’t the type of album that explodes into memory, but rather one that steals its way slowly into your heart. You won’t hear rhythmic gymnastics or speedy, intricate instrumentation, but you will hear quality arrangements and thoughtfully chosen tunes.
If your music collection has room for a subtle, folk-styled Celtic CD, this is definitely one to consider. Nancy Daily-Green has taken the time to deliver something wonderful. Those who sample “Delia’s Hearth” will no doubt agree.
