Our Take

Nancy White's latest album, "Gaelic Envy," is a whimsical concoction of Celtic charm and quirky charm. With her dulcet vocals and infectious melodies, White effortlessly transports listeners to the lush hills of the Scottish Highlands and the bustling streets of Dublin.

From the opening track, "Whiskey Kisses," to the hauntingly beautiful "Lament for Eireann," White showcases her prowess as a storyteller and musician. Each song is a sonic tapestry, weaving together traditional Celtic instrumentation with modern flair.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Shamrock Shuffle," a toe-tapping ode to the Emerald Isle that is sure to get even the most stoic of listeners up and dancing. White's clever lyrics and infectious energy are on full display here, making it a true standout moment on an already stellar album.

However, "Gaelic Envy" is not without its missteps. The track "Haggis Hoedown" veers dangerously close to parody territory, with its over-the-top accents and cliched references. While White's intention may have been tongue-in-cheek, the execution falls flat and detracts from the overall cohesiveness of the album.

Overall, "Gaelic Envy" is a delightful romp through the Celtic countryside, with Nancy White leading the way as a captivating guide. While it may not be perfect, it certainly has its moments of brilliance that make it worth a listen for any fan of folk music with a twist.
