Music reviews of The Chaucer Songbook

Music Review: Music To Feel Good About
Rating: 5 Stars

While I like this CD for its solid renditions of medieval tunes, I think it should have a strong appeal to those who are caught up in the Celtic music craze. Though the performances are solid, they are also sensitive, subtle, and, at times, even delicate. There's nothing heavyhanded or flashy on this disc. I live in Wood's home town (Lake Charles, LA), and here she is better known for her harp playing than her singing. That may be appropriate, since some of her compositions for solo harp are quite lyrical (check out her "Beasts of Bethlehem" CD). But the big surprise on the "Chaucer Songbook" is Wood's singing. It has a childlike quality that is utterly charming and irresitible. This CD will make you feel better than anything you've heard in a long time.
