Review

Vibrant and charming, Celtic Mouth Music showcases the breadth and evolution of instrumental music sung for dancing. Mouth music passed on the old tunes through cultural persecution, poverty, and over the ocean from Scotland and Ireland to Canada and Appalachia. A breath of fresh air from often heavy-handed contemporary productions, this collection utilizes a mix of studio and field recordings. The mix of old and new is juxtaposed to beautiful results when Grey Larsen and Andre Marchand expand upon, but fail to improve, Benoit Benoit's "Reel a Bouche." Economy shines, especially in the rich rendition of "The Collier's Reel" by Josie McDermott; his deceptively casual voice is full of warmth and range. While the quintessentially Celtic female voice is represented in the crisp lilting of Bridget Fitzgerald, better still is the rough, sweet character of Elizabeth Cronin in "Little Pack of Tailors." Handsomely packaged, brimming with stories and photos, this CD captures the full character of Celtic music. --Susan Lewandowski
