Details: Amazon.ca Best known as a featured singer in the musical Riverdance, Katie McMahon debuts with this fine CD on Paradigm Records, featuring members of the Riverdance band. McMahon's classically trained voice positively soars on this album, with a bright, clear sweetness reminiscent of Loreena McKennitt. "Galeno" opens the CD, a ballad in which McMahon's voice is chiefly underscored by acoustic guitar. "Heartland" (from Riverdance) is similar, while the title track (the story of a noblewoman who rescues her love from being hanged) is a fine unaccompanied performance. There are faster songs as well, such as "'Til the Sun Comes Up (Nil Se'n La)," "Down the Moor," and "Breda's Jigs," featuring the dancing rhythms that have made Irish music so popular. Overall, this is a great debut from one of Ireland's loveliest voices. --Genevieve Williams Product description Katie Mcmahon ~ After The Morning
