Music reviews of Siren Song
Music Review: why did they have to break up?
Rating: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite CDs. If you like Art Garfunkel, but without the bombastic endings on most songs, or if you like Celtic music at all, you will probably love this. Grace Griffith has a beautiful alto voice, and she is accompanied by a harp as well as other instruments, such as guitar.
Some of these tracks include singing, and others are instrumental. The instrumental tune I like the best is "Silent Star," which is played by Grace on the pennywhistle. It is eerily beautiful. It is immediately followed by "Sea Fever," in which Grace sings about the love of the sea.
My favorite song is the last one, "The Mermaid's Tale," which describes a shipwreck from the point of view of the mermaid. Grace sings with a lush accompaniment, alternating with a verse sung by a man who represents the drowning sailor. The song ends with the sound of the sea. It is haunting!
An added benefit is that this CD treats all kinds of topics without getting too depressing, and although the accompaniment is lush, to my ears it is never overdone (and I hate Wagner). I highly recommend it.
