Free Music Review: Great new voice in music
Hit: 4 Stars
It's always enjoyable to hear a new artist, and especially a new artist that impresses us. Cave of Gold by Jennifer Licko is an excellent debut album. She covers many different styles of Scottish and Celtic (is there a difference?) music. Her clear, crisp voice evokes melancholy and is perfect for the slow, plaintive ballads on this album. Then, she changes tack and sings with joy as she moves to the upbeat melodies that make you want to get up and dance. Ms. Licko's best instrument on this album is her voice; there's no affectation in her pronunciation and no maudlin fakery in her presentation. She provides a wonderful presentation of the material and the lyrics ring through with the power that great songs have always possessed. I have to admit that I'm also a sucker for violin, pennywhistle, and small drums, which all are used aplenty here. Some of my favorite songs are the album opener, Blacksmith; a sprite version of Wild Mountain Thyme, which provides me with a deja vu feeling that I know it, or should know it; and Caledonia, a hymn to the spirit of the country. The weakest song, in my opinion, is Superhero; I'm not quite sure why it's on this CD. This is not to say that I don't like the other songs on the album, only that I haven't learned to speak Gaelic, yet, don't you ken? This is a very good album, and is an indicator this artist will be with us for quite a while. One of the most enjoyable aspects of following an artist is that we can watch them grow, watch them add to what they have done previously, and watch them merge new influences into their music. I look forward to watching Ms. Licko add to her style.
Cave of Gold Poster
On Jennifer Licko?s debut CD entitled ?Cave of Gold,? she takes a fresh approach to some of the most beautiful Scottish music ever recorded. The warmth and clarity of her voice are equally evocative whether she?s singing an achingly sad romantic ballad or a more upbeat tune. And with the perfect Gaelic that she learned at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, Licko can truly feel the meaning of each and every word.Folk Music CDs
