Jim Scarff: New and Noteworthy Celtic Albums; Nov. 1998
This is a collection of 12 women singers and fiddler Natalie MacMaster. It is remarkably similar to the very successful Irish compilation A Woman's Heart, both in its concept and variety of music on the album. The only Celtic music is provided by Cape Bretoners Natalie and Mary Jane Lamond. Other singers include Sarah McLachlan (NS), Melanie Doane (NS), Cindy Church (NS), Marie-Jo Thrio (NB, in french), Pamela Morgan (NF), Shirley Eikhard (NB), Tara MacLean (PEI), Theresa Malenfant (NB), Colleen Power (NF), Four the Moment (NS), and Laura Smith (NS). Some of the proceeds from the sale of this album go to Atlantic Women's Fishnet, a charity.
