Purity of Sound Is Keane

"All of a sudden, there is a multitude of CD's featuring Celtic music - particularly female singers. This collection touches many bases, in addition to traditional Irish tunes - take a listen to "Lili Marlene." My favorite track on the CD is "Died For Love," the story of ill-fated lovers. The guitarist is outstanding and wraps his sparse licks around Keane's crystal-clear vocal like a lover's tender embrace. There's even a track that could have been cut in Nashville - "Foolish You" - that's about as country as you can get! If it weren't for Keane's strong brogue, you'd swear it was recorded within earshot of the Ryman! A great outing all the way around."
A voice that tugs at the heart...

"I was introduced to Dolores Keane via the "Woman's Heart" CD several years ago. This year, we visited friends in Ireland and rented a riverboat to cruise the ERNE...on a beautiful evening, my friend put this CD on...and time disappeared. Dolores Keane has one of the most beautifully haunting voices I have ever heard."
