[Dixon Carter Lee]

Anyone know her? I'm digging her "Book of Secrets" CD.

 

[LadyG]

Omigod...The Lady of Shallot (?), Mummer's Dance,The Highwayman, The Swan and...hell, I forget the name of it.

She is awesome, DCL. A true storyteller.

Kinda folky with a Celtic flavour to it.

Some of her sound files: http://www.quinlanroad.com/sounds.html

My favorite -- under Book of Secrets -- "The Highwayman". Listen to a bit. From an old poem.

 

[LadyG]

Yeah, that one made me cry when we took it in English class in High School and when I heard her sing it years later..I was in awe.

And cried again!

The Lady of Shallot is good too.

I just sent Caly some of her stuff, I have loved her for years. Her voice is so haunting and melodic. and The Highwayman does indeed bring a tear to the eye.

 

[LadyG]

I don't know how to describe it..haunting, ethereal, lilting? It kind of makes me think of how music sounded hundreds of years ago, does that make sense?

All I know is it's so soothing to listen to.

**sigh**

I like her so much I learned to play the harp. Excellent CD!

* edited verb tense. I think it is right now... but maybe not. Ah, fuck it.
*haha i missed a typo too! i suck.

 

[islandman]

Good choice. Been in love with her voice for years now.

That disc never leaves my car, her voice has provided much needed peace and tranquility during troubled times. Agreed the Highwayman is a phenomenal music adaptation of an old poem.

 

[islandman]

Mellifluous, that's the word to describe her voice.

 

[theGatsby]

Indeed, good word. Perfectly applied.

 

[Dillinger]

I've been listening to her for about a year now - great stuff! Really enjoyable and evocative.

Funny I just read this and was going to post that you sent me some beautiful stuff by her. Wow...moving.

I love her music! She is so very talented! All of her albums are awesome - very awesome.

That's my favorite on that album - wonderful!

 

[Bluesboy2]

May favorite tune of hers...

"The Old Ways", which my band in Madison covers. I just wish she wasnt so over-produced. I want to see her live and see what she sounds like.

 

[DéjàNu]

Very good, I have Elemental and love it!


I love those Celtic Bands like Clannad and Enya.

Well, well, I'd never have pegged you as a fan of that kind of music..... Loreena came with us to the badly logged areas on Vancouver Island. She cried.

Enya makes me drool.


bonjour, ma cher.
