Free Music Notes for Yours Truly
Free Music Review: almost perfect, but....
Hit: 5 Stars
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.
Yours Truly Poster
Though the music of Canadian fiddler Natalie MacMaster remains rooted in her native Cape Breton, it continues to branch in some surprising directions. No purist, MacMaster employs an aggressive guitar and rhythm section, along with mini-Moog and electric pipes on "Matt & Nat's," while the jazzy intro to the "Flea as a Bird" medley seems to channel the style of Stephane Grappelli. Guest vocalist Michael McDonald gives the traditional "Danny Boy" a soulful, somber twist, and "Farewell to Peter" offers an instrumental elegy to Peter Jennings, MacMaster's late friend and countryman. Yet uptempo instrumentals dominate, as the opening "Volcanic Jig" builds to an eruption worthy of its title, "David's Jig" employs her step dancing as percussion, and her flamboyant virtuosity through much of the music finds her rarely settling for one note where she can squeeze in three or four. --Don McLeeseFolk Music CDs
