CD ReviewsOne of Prior's best 12/21/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Prior has always mixed a bit of rock in with her folk and celtic songs, but rarely as skillfully as this. The title song cycle tells the story of Arthur, not the familiar figure of Camelot but closer to the true legend, a gritty, brutal and considerably earthier story. The music that supports it is an atmospheric blend of natural instruments mixed with sythns that creates mental images of brooding moors and violent pagan battles. In less capable hands it could have come off as yet another new age triffle, and indeed the lyrics at times are a bit clumsy. But Prior's powerful voice controls the proceedings, giving it emotional depth that cannot be dismissed. As for the rock quoient, "Tribal Warriors" is a new classic that will definitely join the celtic rock hall of fame. Crank it!" One of the best things she has ever done 12/12/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "I really liked Ravenchild, but this CD surpasses that. The King Arthur cycle is just great. The track "Tribal Warriors" is one of the most purely exciting songs I think I have heard."
