There Was a Lady: The Voice of Celtic Women [1997]

by N/A

Overview

A splendid compilation drawn from the Green Linnet catalog, focusing on solo artists and bands with female vocalists. The track listing is fairly eclectic, but entertaining throughout -- uniformly good enough that nothing stands out from the entire collection. A good place to start looking for an example of the female voice in Celtic music. ~ Steven McDonald
