5 out of 5 stars couldn't be without.......2007-01-04

This is my second time I purchased this particular cd. I lost the first one and couldn't be without it. I just love these gals and this cd also has others on it that are super. great music.

5 out of 5 stars Cherish The Ladies.....Everyone should cherish their lovely Celtic Music!.......2006-06-27

I absolutely love this album! I purchased my first copy about 2 years ago and played it over and over again because I love so many of the tunes and learned a few songs for the Irish Feis' and the Fleadh Ceol. I played this CD so much, I think I wore it out...so I recently purchased another copy in June, 2006. I love Deidre Connolly's voice (especially on Erin Gra Mo Chroi---Ireland Love Of My Heart)....just brilliant! Joanie Madden continues to amaze with her tin whistles....the music she creates is spectacular! All of the gals in Cherish The Ladies are incredible musicians...keep up the great music!

5 out of 5 stars Make a date with the ladies!.......2006-05-05

A few years ago I had the pleasure of seeing Joanie Madden at the Savannah Irish festival. I'm sorry to say that it was my first time hearing her play, and while I'd heard of Cherish the Ladies, I wasn't familiar with any of their music. Hearing her live was my impetus for getting one of their CDs and I'm so glad I did.

This CD is a lovely collaborative effort with the Ladies and their friends, and it's entertaining and crisp from start to finish. From sentimental love songs like Bonny Blue-Eyed Nancy, to the tongue in cheek wit of The Mad Puck Goat, it's one of those experiences you have when you just feel lucky to be along for the ride. And hats off to their rendition of Down by the Glenside with Paddy Reilly. He really is one of the best ballad singers out there and he's a treat on this cut.

The Ladies are great. Don't miss them.

4 out of 5 stars A few too many guest singers.......2004-06-08

I think there should have been more focus on the band, rather than guest performers. In general, I didn't like the guest singing performances, despite how famous the guys may be. The instrumental tracks are stellar, with all-star guests such as Liam O'Flynn and Matt Molloy. "Broom of the Cowdenknowes" is my favorite track. Great song, great vocals. "Erin Grý Mo Chroý" is a beautiful song very well-sung (the Dervish version on Midsummer's Night is also highly recommended). "Queen of Connemara" and "Jolly Beggarman" are other good songs. I didn't really like the arrangement of "An Poc Ar Buile", although it is still a good song. The other songs just didn't do it for me. But still definitely worth buying for any trad fan.

5 out of 5 stars Compulsively listenable.......2003-10-01

I bought this Cd without ever having listened to a single note of the band's work. I had read a review in Sound and Vision, then the views here at Amazon, and I took a chance. I was not disappointed. Every song here is an absolute gem. The harmonies are magical, and the instrumentation will transport you. I play this disk again and again, and I think my wife is going to hide the CD if I play it at dinnertime once more. I promise you will not be disappointed. Buy this disk, and simply enjoy; it's magic, gorgeous, and worth any price.
