4 out of 5 stars Crosswinds - Capercaillie.......2007-01-18

Good CD! Really like about 1/2 of the songs. Others are ok.

5 out of 5 stars Crosswinds.......2003-09-04

I bought this album back in 1987 direct from the band (and signed) at a gig in Wales, within three years I had worn out the vinyl, so I was unable to play it any more.
That should give you an idea of just how good this record is, many say that the early Capercaillie stuff is less honed than the their later stuff, but I think it has the rawness that the music needs to be shown off to it best.
The style is younger than the records they produce today, but they were younger, and we've all matured from 1987.

5 out of 5 stars Breathtaking!.......2003-03-20

I first heard "Puirt A Beul/Snug In A Blanket" on a Green LInnet sampler album, and when it came on I just stopped what I was doing and said to myself, my God, that's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

I still feel the same way about that song, and for that matter, everything else on this early Capercaille album. If you're a fan of any Celtic music you simply must own this disk.

5 out of 5 stars Karen Matheson's voice will melt your heart.......1999-03-16

I will buy anything that lead singer Karen Matheson records, but the best is to be found on the early albums - Crosswinds, Sidewaulk, Delirium - which are predominantly traditional in character. Sean Connery is quote as saying that Matheson's voice has been "touched by God" and I couldn't agree more. The other members of the band provide perfect backing to Matheson's powerful ballads and show their great talent in rousing jigs and reels on the instrumental tracks. Capercaillie is a favorite of mine among the current crop - along with Altan and Deanta.
