"Where can one start to tell the story of the great Dolores Keane?
This Best Of Dolores Keane collection is long overdue.Dolores inherited her singing from her famous Sean Nos (old gaelic singers)Aunts, Rita and Sarah.Based in Galway in the West of Ireland.Dolores possibly came to prominence while doing lead singing with Irish Trad specialists De Dannan.Her rendition of Galway Bay is unbelievable here,also Far Away In Australia,Never Be The Sun,and Mick Hanleys My Love Is In America,all exellent.Some of the older tunes like Lili Marlene are nice too,and Let It Be by the Beatles is fantastic.All in this as I say was long overdue.I personally consider Dolores as the greatest Female Irish Vocalist of them all,yet commercially she hasn't been marketed very well.When one considers that Emmylou Harris is her greatest fan,and also Nathalie Merchant(ex 10,000 Maniacs)has said in the past that Dolores has been a big influence on her,well then what are you waiting for?Just go and purchase the hauntingly beauitiful voice of the legend Dolores Keane.Guranteed not to dissappoint."
Best of Dolores Keane

"This is very good Irish folk music. I have most of her CD's and I am very happy with them. "Caledonia" and "Never Be The Sun" are two of my favorites from this recording. Be sure to try her other music. It is wonderful.Dolores' brother, Sean Keane, is also an excellent choice to listen to. "The Man That I Am" and "No Stranger" are my favorites."
