CELCTIC TWILIGHT is a new collection of contemporary Irish music featuring established artists and a few new talents. Irishman Paddy Keenan performs on the unique uilleann pipes, a cousin of the more well-known Scottish bagpipes. Keenan?s sound has less drone than the sound of bagpipes, and is remarkably fluid with melody. His contribution ?Jutland,? is a standout instrumental on the album. Fiona Joyce offers ?Sweet Surrender,? a perfectly titled song about love and loss, sung in her trademark contralto-voice. Her comparisons to Loreena McKennitt are apt but don?t take into account the sympathetic weariness of her tone, which adds an inimitable layer to her interpretations. Capercaille?s ?Nil Si I Ngra? is sung in Gaelic and features a twangy guitar that bridges North American country music and traditional Irish folk songs. Another uillean piper, Davy Spillane, is also a multi-instrumentalist and his track ?Midnight Walker? features a low whistle (an instrument dating back to pre-Babylonian times) that he made by hand. This successful series of Celtic compilations ranks with the best introductions to contemporary Irish music.
