By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 9, 2001

This is Loreena McKennitt's first album, and it documents nicely her Celtic roots in the large number of traditional selections offered. This collection of mostly traditional songs is nicely expanded on by her later work.All of the following tracks ...are Traditionals arranged and adapted by LoreenaBlacksmith The Lark In The Clear AirCarrighfergus (not sung by L.M)KellswaterThe Banks of ClaudyCome by the HillsThe track She Moved Through The Fair is traditional, though its attribution is known, and it fits very nicely with the rest of the tracks on this offering;The Stolen Child is an adaptation on W.B, Yeat's poem by the same name, and again fits well with the heavily traditional themeLullaby is original music with a reading (not by L.M.) taken from William Blake.Overall this is a very fine offering, and highly reccomended.
