Artist: Siochain
Album: Peace By Peace
I’m always a sucker for renditions of “Wild Mountain Thyme”, so this band had me interested from the get go. Well, that and their version of “Amazing Grace”. If you are going to do classics, you’d better do them well, and Siochain has done that here on Peace by Peace.
[Oh, and just fyi--you pronounce Siochain “Shee’–a–kawn”, emphasizing the "shee". In case you were wondering.]
Claudia Campbell’s vocals here are strong and impactful throughout. She has a tone that people would automatically associate with Celtic music, just by its sound. Although the group is no longer together, they have a couple of excellent albums to show for their time as a band, and this is one of them. (Their other album was titled, “Disturbing the Peace”.)
Siochain falls comfortably into the Celtic rock/world music genre, and most fans of this type of music will find this a good CD. If you are searching for something new–why not give this band a try?
