Pro Reviews: Woman Of The House
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Cherish the Ladies' tenth studio album is reliable without being redundant, soft without seeming slight, and as rollicking as it is sentimental. Joined by a small army of guests that read like Celtic and singer/songwriter royalty (Sharon Shannon/Triona Ni Dhomhnaill/Phil Cunningham/Kate Rusby/Eddi Reader), the Ladies have crafted a beautiful set that harks back to their 1992 debut. The impossibly lovely voice of Heidi Talbot it's like standing between Alison Krauss and Kirsty MacColl singing at the same time carries each ballad, both traditional ("Green Fields of Canada," "Bogie's Bonnie Belle") and contemporary ("Sweet Thames Flow Softly"), with such effortlessness that it's a wonder she even has to move her mouth, while the band makes highoctane instrumentals like "Jigs: Carolan's Favorite Jig/The Rakes of Cashel/Highland March in Oscar Malvina" and the ferocious title track sound like the very forces of nature in human form. - James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide |

Pros: Haunting vocals, striking instrumental accomplishment, 16-page CD booklet includes photos, lyrics and background notes about the songs
Cons: Can't think of any...it's near perfect
Playing Time - 52:13 -- New to the Rounder Records label, Cherish the Ladies have a well-produced and highly-arranged selection of songs on "Woman of the House." The five women in the band also enlist the support of 14 artists in various guest instrumental and vocal capacities. Thus, the project creates many moods, and we listeners are richly rewarded. With one foot firmly planted in tradition, this band also keeps one headed in the direction of the future. These innovative and forward thinkers demonstrate a playful spirit. The great reels at track one, as well as "The Hills of New Zealand" were composed by Madden. The band's mixture of the familiar with their own creative artistry is commendable. Whether instrumental or vocal, CTL's music conveys powerful messages of struggle, hardship, bravery, love, kindness & compassion.
