Our Take

Step right up, folks, for a whimsical journey down the Rhine with the incomparable Loreena McKennitt and her merry band of troubadours in "Troubadours On The Rhine (A Trio Performance)."

This album is a delightful blend of Celtic folk, world music, and just a dash of medieval flair that will transport you to a time when minstrels roamed the countryside, lutes were strummed, and ale flowed freely. McKennitt's ethereal vocals float effortlessly over the acoustic arrangements, weaving a spellbinding tapestry of sound that will have you dancing barefoot in a moonlit meadow.

The trio's chemistry is palpable, with each musician bringing their own unique flair to the mix. Whether it's Brian Hughes' intricate guitar work, Caroline Lavelle's haunting cello melodies, or the hypnotic rhythms of Donald Quan's percussion, every note on this album is perfectly crafted to whisk you away to a land of magic and wonder.

From the enchanting opener "Bonny Portmore" to the hauntingly beautiful "The Mummers' Dance," each track on "Troubadours On The Rhine" is a masterclass in storytelling through music. McKennitt's passion for the ancient lore and legends of the Celts shines through in every note, making this album a must-listen for anyone with a love for the mystical and mysterious.

So grab a goblet of mead, kick off your shoes, and let Loreena McKennitt and her troubadours serenade you down the Rhine on a musical adventure you won't soon forget. Cheers to that!
