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

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.

Outstanding fiddle player!

Review Comments: I happen to see this performer live this year and even though she was quite pregnant, her performance was terrific as is her cd. Her talent reflects in her ability to keep you interested in every song she creates. The musicians that accompany Natalie only enhance her performance and make this cd even better. If you enjoy true fiddle playing, I recommend this cd.

Natalie does it all

Review Comments: I have seen Natalie McMaster several times and have some of her previous recordings. This one is somewhat of a departure from her usual fiddle music, delving more into a mood from classical to klezmer. She still entertains marvelously and shows her versality with the music she has created here. It is a mix of warmth, joy and sadness from a lady who has an unmatched personality and talent. I find myself playing this again and again. The only down side is Michael McDonald's "Danny Boy".

A rewarding performer

Review Comments: Natalie McMaster is, amazingly, the real thing. She has huge talent, without the ego to match. She is such a great performer for her live audiences, talking, dancing, and of course fiddling. She gives credit to her family, her band, and her country. She's a charmer, and this CD has all of her charm and talent.
