Natalie turns in another great disc

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: I've listened to this disk 50 times (according to iTunes) and I'm still very happy with it.

Beautiful fiddler

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: What I really like about this CD is that the songs vary from fast fun, knee-patt'n to slow serious violin. Also, MacMaster has great band to back her up.

Natalie's Great!

 Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Once again, a good selection of music from Natalie. My only complaint is the sappy last track where she vocally thanks everyone. Her thanks are included in the liner notes and when people buy an album, they expect all the tracks to be music. How many times could you listen to that last track? Once, and if you made a car version, you'd definitely delete it.

almost perfect, but....

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Natalie is wondrous. See her live any chance you get. Her playing is sublime, her love for her music infectious. And she rocks. She works within the tradition and without it -- being continuously inventive and innovative while remaining true to her core. Only great musicians do this. And she works with other great musicians -- special mentions to Matt MacIsaac (pipes) and Jens Kruger (banjo) on this CD. My Natalie CD's fill my car's auto-changer. BUT... there is a real aberration on this disc: a horrible, mooing, moaning version of Danny Boy sung by Mike McDonald, who sounds like a sick sheep stuck at the bottom of a well. What a hack! It jerks you from Natalie heaven to some cheesy Oirish tourist dump. Unbearable. Thank God for the "avoid" button. And thank God for Natalie. Don't let that one track put you off! It didn't put me off giving this CD five stars -- I'm just pretending it isn't there.

Never disappoints

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: I have been a fan of the MacMasters, both Buddy and Natalie, for as long as I can remember. I come from an old Nova Scotia family and Cape Breton fiddle music was always in our house. If you are looking for a master of the Cape Breton style who has taken the Scottish fiddle and brought it into the modern era, look no further.
