Dervish is one of
the finest tradition based Celtic bands anywhere, and they have made
their reputation by sticking to their roots, never resorting to
electric instruments and rarely performing contemporary songs to garner
attention. Cathy Jordan is a great bodhron player and singer, with a
voice that resembles, and has the equivalent power and maneuverability
of former Steeleye Span member Maddy Prior. The jigs and reels are as
exciting and passionate as only the very top Irish musicians can play
them. The individual musicians, especially Liam Kelly on flute and
Shane McAleer on fiddle, are in that top realm, yet even when
individual players are showcased the music has a collective spirit
that's about band consciousness above and beyond the individual. The
music is absolutely great, with 10 songs (in roughly equivalent parts
Gaelic and English) and about the same number of instrumental dance
tunes (which are wonderfully danceable) spread out between the two
discs. Dirty Linen, Ltd. All rights reserved
