Our Take

Oh, pop on your kilts and get ready to dance a merry jig, because Loreena McKennitt is back with her latest album, "The Wind That Shakes the Barley." Known for her enchanting Celtic music, McKennitt delves deep into traditional folk tunes with a modern twist on this release. The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful title track, setting the tone for an ethereal journey through the Scottish countryside. McKennitt's distinctive voice floats effortlessly over the intricate instrumentation, casting a spell on listeners from the very first note. From the lively fiddle melodies of "The Two Trees" to the cinematic grandeur of "The Star of the County Down," McKennitt showcases her mastery of the genre with each track. Her ability to transport listeners to another time and place is truly magical, making "The Wind That Shakes the Barley" a must-listen for lovers of traditional Celtic music. While some may find the album a bit too niche for their tastes, McKennitt's dedication to preserving and reinterpreting these ancient songs is a testament to her passion for the music. So grab a pint of Guinness, put on your dancing shoes, and let Loreena McKennitt whisk you away on a musical journey through the windswept fields of Scotland. Sláinte!
