5 out of 5 stars Pure Celtic Folk.......2005-04-03

Jill Rogoff's voice is melodic, pure, and delicate, which fits perfectly with the reflective, and in some cases quite nostalgic, lyrics in these folk songs. My favorites: "Far Over the Forth," "King of the Pipers" (a light-hearted instrumental), "If I Were a Blackbird, "and "She's Like the Swallow." I like the fact that Ms. Rogoff derives her inspiration from such obscure, yet beautiful, things like Gaelic poetry ("Across the Narrow Seas"), which in turn definitely makes this album a beautiful listen indeed.

4 out of 5 stars Across the Narrow Seas - Jill Rogoff revisited.......2000-11-17

"Across the Narrow Seas" is Ms. Rogoff's third album (sadly the first is out of print) and it is truly a gem. Although hardly a sequel in the musical sense to her previous award winning album "The Celtic Cradle"; one clearly senses her affinity for and understanding of her material. Particularly outstanding on this fine fine album is her rendition of Raymond Scuderos haunting lullabye of the recent civil war in Yugoslavia 'Through the Night' and her musical adaptation of poet laureate C. Day Lewis' 'The Conflict'. Unquestionably an album worth having and worth sharing with others.

5 out of 5 stars Can't get any better than this! Way to go, Mom!.......1999-07-19

I'm Jill Rogoff's eldest daughter. I wanted to share with you how great she is! She has got an angelic voice! She is the one who first inspired me to make music a part of my life. Today, I sometimes sing with her on stage. As much as I love that, I never feel worthy of working with her and standing on the stage with her. She makes me proud and reminds me daily of how beautiful the best of musics can be when you hear a voice like that! Way to go, mom!

5 out of 5 stars Traditional ballads in beautiful voice.......1999-01-04

I love listening to these ballads from Scotland and Ireland. Jill's voice is a pleasure. Buy this CD if you have any interest in traditional music or just love great female vocals. Running the realaudio should remove any doubts. As you can tell, I am very satisfied with this purchase.
