Music reviews of Sweet Liberty
Music Review: Susan McKeown At Her Best!
Rating: 5 Stars
This is, without a doubt, Susan's best album yet. Her voice has matured and her style is fully developed, leaving us with a delightful, refreshing taste of not-so-traditional Irish music. Every track is beautiful, even the somewhat-critized "Oró Mhíle Grá (A Thousand Times My Love)", though the sound is definitely one that takes some getting used to! "Sweet Liberty" and "Caledonia" are two lovely Celtic ballads that you'll listen to over and again.This album is also a must-have for fiddle-legend Johnny Cunningham fans. The last track, "When I Was on Horseback", a particularly haunting and poignant song, was recorded just one day before Johnny passed away, in December of 2003.
If you're going to buy just one Susan McKeown album, make it this one!

Description of Sweet Liberty
Irish-born and New York-based singer Susan McKeown has made a name for herself over the last decade by interpreting Irish traditionals she's found through research or been taught by other musicians. Sometimes she can be a bit overambitious in her interpretations: thus we get a slightly disorienting version of the Irish song "Oró Mhíle Grá (A Thousand Times My Love)," which features McKeown fronting the Malian group Ensemble Tartit. Her lilting alto voice floats over the top of the African call and response and handclaps, but it's a noble experiment where the two styles don't match up. Better is the singer's collaboration with members of Mariachi Real de Mexico on "Eggs In Her Basket," where the strong waltz rhythm fuses the two traditions. Much of the rest of the album is beautifully understated Irish folk music driven with acoustic guitar, whistles, fiddle, and harmonium. With a voice as beautiful and strong as hers, one wonders why McKeown is not bigger name in the genre. -- Tad HendricksonAlternative Rock CDs
