Comments

As expected, an ubermellow offering with overdubbed vocal tracks accompanied by gentle Celtic rhythms and tunes. Brennan alternates between a peaceful contemplative pieces and more dramatic tunes which put me in mind of some of Michelle Tumes' early output, especially the title track. A very soothing album.

I quite like "Follow the Word", "I láthair Dé", and the acapella "Bí thusa mo shúile"
