Music reviews of Midsummer's Night
Music Review: Beauty swirls
Rating: 4 Stars
Luckily one of your first forays into modern takes traditional Irish folk music can be your last if you start with Dervish. Cutting through all the bull and utilizing everything that is inherently pure of this genre, the group thrives off of a healthy balance of spirited, lightening quick instrumental interplay and delicate balladry.
Description of Midsummer's Night
Dervish, perhaps more than any other traditional Irish band, have the knack of bringing the passion and spontaneity of a pub session to their recordings. On Midsummer's Night, the seven members of the band play their way through six sets of dance tunes with an easygoing charm that makes even the quick tempos of the liveliest jigs seem effortless. The instrumental talents of the members may rank with the best Ireland has to offer, but the real heart of the band is the voice of Cathy Jordan. When she sings a tragic ballad such as "The Banks of Sweet Viledee," she brings the bitterness and sorrow to life, and when she gets flirtatious, as she does on "Sean Bhain," she is irresistible. When Dervish first appeared on the scene in the early 1990s, they were tagged as the next Bothy Band. With Midsummer's Night, they have truly gone beyond comparison with other bands, and have become so influential that, from now on, up-and-coming groups are likely to be described as the next Dervish. --Michael SimmonsGeneral CDs
