5 out of 5 stars Beautiful, inspiring and moving........2005-07-28

If there ever was a secret in celtic music, it is broken like a shout in Deanta's Whisper of a Secret. 12 songs bring again the essence of this beautiful, inspiring and moving music. This group of musicians have the gift of giving us a portion of their culture through music. If you enjoy the feeling that well played celtic music brings to the spirit, here you will find 59 minutes of celtic music food for your being.

5 out of 5 stars a beautiful album.......2002-08-16

The musical variety of this album makes it stand apart from all of the other celtic albums in my collection. Mary Dillon's voice is hauntingly beautiful - never more so than in the song, "Lone Shanakyle". A must have if you are a fan of Irish/Celtic music.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best things that happened to Irish music.......2000-05-24

This is the album which I consider the best album in my CD-collection. It is unique and it is like a cure. It shows the softness of women's voice, energy of reels and jigs and skills of band which lives the music and you can feel it. "Song Where are you" is my favourite but it always makes me almost cry. It is full of emotions. Instrumentals are played in the most beautiful way and I like the jazzy rhythm in "Paddy and the Bandit" which is great followed with a saxophone. If you love Celtic or Irish music do yourself a favor and buy this CD because you just can't be disappointed with it. Don't ask how much it costs, just buy it and enjoy it! This is the perfect thing to wake you up in the morning (it wakes me up almost every morning) or to relax you, free your mind and bring a lot of positive energy and strength for living. I repeat: Buy it! Buy it! Buy it! Buy it! You will be sorry if you don't buy it (I would have been sorry now if i hadn't have buy it).

5 out of 5 stars Buy It!.......2000-04-08

Well, this is my first Deanta CD and I ephatically give it 5 stars and a must buy if you love Celtic music. The songs transend ordinary music in that they pick you up, yet relax you at the same time. Two days to Go (opening song) is so well done that I used it on sleepless nights to relax me into slumber and yet this very song has jump started many a mornings for me.

Mary Dillon's voice is superb and sounds a wee bit like Karan Casey...but a little more smooth and refined. Willie and Mary is sung well and shows off her vocal talents and the numerous reels and jigs show off the groups musical skills and make this a CD well worth buying.

p.s. If you love Mary Dillon, check out Karan Caseys debut CD Songlines and anything of Connie Dover. You won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars My favorite of Deanta's albums.......1999-07-16

This is perhaps the best of Deanta's albums so far. "Willie and Mary," as well as "Where are You" are wonderfully sung. The traditional song "The Blacksmith" is given a nice angsty edge over the Celtic sound. The instrumentals seem very tight. All together, an excellent album, not only of Celtic music, but simply of music.
