Music Reviews of Eddi Reader Sings the Songs of Robert BurnsMusic Review: Still tearing up! Rating: 5 Stars
I've just finished listening to "Ae Fond Kiss" for the umpteenth time and still felt myself tearing up! The lyrics, melody, and orchestration exemplify the sadness of parting forever. But the tears are mostly brought on by the joy I feel hearing Eddi Reader's passion and command of her material. Her interpretation of the other songs is just as rich (listen to her "Auld Lang Syne" and you'll understand it and feel it as never before). Be sure to try her other CDs, as they all are brilliant! Her voice is a delight, her material insightful and lovely.
Music Review: A loving tribute Rating: 5 Stars
It is hard to justify the price, but this CD is well worth having as Eddi Reader gives a loving tribute to Robert Burns. Her beautiful voice gives the poems and songs such resonance that they will indeed bring tears to your eyes. The former lead vocalist of "Fairground Attraction," is constantly pushing the boundaries of her musical range, making her one of the most engaging voices in popular music today. She seems quite at home on this CD, pulling from the deep well of Burns' canon to provide listeners with a new appreciation for this great Scottish poet.
Music Review: Simply amazing Rating: 5 Stars
A wonderful CD of a great artist. I have only recently been introduced to Eddi's work by a Glaswegian friend and he claims that this is Eddi at her best. I can only testify that this CD is amazing in and of itself. Wonderful words and music, complemented by Eddi's great voice. Sheer beauty.
