 Just a very special album. November 9, 2008
Sometimes an artist comes along who makes you believe in music again. Mairead is one of those! This woman is quite possibly one of the most talented human beings I've ever come across. Her ability to blend classical with traditional is unparalleled. When you watch her perform, you can scarcely believe your eyes. She believes in her music, she loves the music and she loves to play. It shows.
Anyway, on to her CD. After seeing her live, I knew I had to have it, and let me tell you, you will not be disappointed if you buy it. It's very different, in my opinion, from Celtic Woman material, and yet I feel that Celtic Woman audiences will love and appreciate it. Many of the songs have an almost ambient feel to them, and combined with the traditional element, you have a very unique CD.
"There is No Night" is a sweet, beautiful song, and probably my favorite, though "Skidoo," "Finan's Isle" and several others come very close. There is an excellent combination of both slow and fast on the album, and I really feel that there's something for everyone. I often listen to her CD in the car and it's great on my morning commute. Her playing is both wonderful and awe-inspiring. "Captain H" is another fantastic song, written by Mairead herself, along with "Bluelights."
There is one vocal track on the CD. A very interesting, very traditional Irish song sung by Mairead herself. I was a bit perplexed by it at first, but grew to love it purely because it is so different from anything I've personally heard before.
If you've enjoyed Mairead in Celtic Woman, you will more than likely love her album. She's a very talented lady who will not soon be forgotten. There is so much more in store for her in the future. I just know it! She just enjoys playing so much that she enables her audience to truly enjoy it as well, whether live or on CD! Also, I would encourage anyone to go out and see Mairead in concert with Celtic Woman. You'll never forget it!
 not what I had hoped for September 17, 2008

Thot this would be Celtic music, but it was New Age. If you like New Age, this is definitely for you. If it's Celtic you're after, pass on this one. (There are a couple with Celtic names, but the beauty of the tunes has been obscured.) mb
Music to enjoy and let the world go away for awhile August 9, 2008
It's almost too bad this is only a CD due to if you have watched the DVDs of Celtic Woman you can not only listen to her great performance but see how she absolutely enjoys creating the great music. The lucky thing is that you can hear this infectous music again and again.
Mairead Nesbitt-Incredible Irish Fiddler July 31, 2008
This CD is fantastic. On every single track Mairead Nesbitt will delight you with her mastery of the violin. She makes the instrument sing in a way that is uniquely hers. Many of the tracks will enchant you with their traditional Irish spirit and the flavor of her rich heritage. This CD also contains tracks that have a more classical feel such as "There is No Night" and a laid-back contemporary style to "Captain H" and "Bluelights". There is definitely something for everyone on this CD.
Don't Miss this Remarkable Talent! May 24, 2008
Fans fresh from having seen the amazing Mairead Nesbitt in the just-concluded Celtic Woman tour of the USA may be searching for more on this fiddling phenomenon. Well, your search is over! "Raining Up" is the product of this amazing talent, supported by a host of other talented musicians, including family members. Those who have seen her in action, whether on tour or through her multitudinous appearances with Celtic Woman on Public Broadcasting (PBS) Service stations everywhere, already know what to expect and are eager to hear more! For others, "Raining Up" may serve as an introduction to Mairead Nesbitt and will be rewarding in it's own right on the strength of the music and performances therein. In either event, the listener will be rewarded and left eagerly waiting for more. We hope to see and hear much more for many years to come from the incomparable Mairead Nesbitt!
