I need more stars please. August 12, 2005 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Sublime.
Need more words? I own 80+ traditional CDs and 95% are by woman singers. I've been buying for 10 years. Time is my limiting factor. Ru-ra is one of the most clearly "created" works of art I have ever encountered, in any medium. That is a compliment. There is a mind, minds, behind this, but given the few dots to connect, *the* mind is that of Sandra MacKay. I would happily spend what money I have if it could *produce* a new album by her.
But understand: Ru-ra was a master-work. A masterpiece of Scots Gaelic traditional music. If that sounds a bit idolatrous, I may say I recently stumbled upon Margaret Callan's "Reflections of Uist", which, along with very few CDs, say Mary Jane Lamond's "Bho Thir Nan Croabh" ... Catherine Anne-MacPhee's "Sings Mairi Mhor" ... I group with "Ru-ra."
Yes, Padraigin Ni Uallachain and Kate Rusby and Julie Murphy have made comparable CDs. "When I was Young", "Kate and Kathryn", "Llatai". And I am very glad, very glad indeed, to own other CDs Sandra has made.
But "Ru-ra" ... as George MacDonald wrote, "Is it over then, and yet I still live?"
Cheer be with thee.
love it! June 5, 2005 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Wow. This album blew me away. I fell for one of the tracts from this album on "Celtic Voices", a mix CD, I got the album and have been wondering ever since how I'd gotten along without it. I love celtic music. But this album really shines among my collection.
