And when did Natalie's hair turn green? I think the cover is quite well-done and pleasing, but that's just me. The green tint could be from being photographed under fluorescent light, if that's what the hues actually look like. |

New bands like Equation, Hem, The Wailin' Jennys, and in some measure Nickel Creek are adding percussion and more bass (bass, especially string bass, has been around blue- and new-grass for a while) to rather nice effect IMHO. Y'know, music grows and changes over time. "Hillbilly music" grew into New Grass. Now the instrumentation is being taken in another, different direction. Let's see where it takes us, eh? My take on New Grass is that the singer can actually sing. Listen to some early blue grass, Bristol sessions and so on. The singing was terrible. I agree, lets see where this takes us !!!! |

| mgkiwi (French Alps) | Posted: Aug 02, 2007 - 09:35 If you like this - check out a band called 'Celtic Hangover' Half Irish, half French - excellent, fiddles, flutes, the lot! |

| auburntigerrich (Mesa, AZ) | Posted: Mar 29, 2007 - 12:01 She's done better... much better. The trumpets and over-produced backup band drive this tune deep into the 4. And I'm a huge fan of a good fiddle tune."> |
| huebdoo | Posted: Feb 26, 2007 - 07:01 She is too cutsey and too Canadian Content for me... the whole Celtic thing from the east coast is done for me. Not to take away from her talents but to be honest the Canadian Content laws is what makes people like this exist. If those content laws werent around... she would be playing pubs and kitchen parties... Natalie and her cousin Ashley MacIsaac can do some pretty impressive fiddle work but to be honest its all like British Cooking to me No Spice, Bland and Over Done it gets a 2 from me |

Apparently she is flexible the other way too! God loves (some) Capers.

| jessenaiman | Posted: Dec 14, 2006 - 10:21 I can sort of agree with the drumming comment. I am a little more flexible; bongo's and creative rhythm are usually a nice spice. Too often are generic beats added to an already good track. |

No no no! Drum kits do not belong in Celtic or bluegrass music. The Doc Watson / Ricky Skaggs / Earl Scruggs album was largely ruined for me by the drumming, as is this song. Not to mention the electric bass guitar. I would give this a nine if it weren't for the drums. The drums just sound absurdly out of place to me in any music like this. Keep drums for rock, country, blues, and jazz. Fire up the drum machines for this crazy "electronic" music the kids are conjuring up these days. But don't force this sort of percussion onto folk music. It just sounds wrong. Interesting thread.

It had elements of flamenco music as well as the Celtic feel. So the drums fitted in. And if you go Scottish dancing it will be rare for them not to have a kit. |

I love everything NMacM does pretty much, but her playing has its own drive -- she's got more energy without the drums, to my ear. |
