5 out of 5 stars lasting work.......2006-06-17

"No one can do what she is doing..." wrote a listener who reviewed this disc in 1999. Seven years on, that's still true. The only one who has matched Ryan since is she herself in subsequent recordings. Reading over the reviews and comments, it seems each has a different favorite. I'll add Lament of the Three Marys and I'm Going Back, the first a traditional song Ryan sings in Irish and the second a song she wrote, a spare and clear evocation of the situations of leaving and returning to Ireland. Those who like Emmylou Harris, Mary Black, and Kathy Mattea should check out Ryan's work, on this and her other recordings.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Voice.. and more........2005-03-10

I bought this CD when I saw her play the Irish Music Festival a few years ago.. I fell in love with the music there.. enough so that I went to all 3 days of the festival, and stayed even when it started to pour. I would like to get the other CD's as well, but this one was a great one to start with. All it's missing is the stories she adds when she is performing.

5 out of 5 stars A must for Celtic Music collectors..........2004-11-29

Cathie Ryan has a pure, clear soprano that's one of the most powerful and evocative voices I have heard since Joan Baez. Her collection addresses everything from Ireland to lost love. Not a bad song in the bunch.

5 out of 5 stars THIS ALBUM IS WHATS HAPPENING.......2001-10-17

THIS ALBUM IS MY FAVORITE! CATHIE HAS A PURE,MELODIC VOICE.
THEE ISN'T ONE SONG THAT I CAN SAY DOESN'T BELONG THERE. THEY ALL ARE JUST GREAT!
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT RELEASE!

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding!!!!.......2000-08-04

I have seen Cathy Ryan in concert twice, in a small outdoor setting, and she was wonderful. She has a beautiful voice although she seems to think that Irish women are shy and retiring. I've never met any like that! Both of her CD's are well worth buying, as well as her work with Cherish the Ladies.
