Celtic Tradition - An Irish Christmas Album

Review by Justin

Celtic Tradition's An Irish Christmas Album is a delightful collection of traditional Irish Christmas songs and carols. The album features twelve tracks that capture the spirit of Christmas in Ireland, with lively jigs and reels, haunting ballads, and enchanting melodies. The arrangements are expertly crafted, with a perfect balance of instruments, including fiddles, flutes, pipes, harps, and guitars. The vocals are also exceptional, with rich harmonies and clear diction that bring out the beauty of the lyrics. The album opens with the upbeat "The Holly and the Ivy," followed by the haunting "In the Bleak Midwinter," and the lively "The Wexford Carol." Other highlights include "The First Noel," "Silent Night," and "O Holy Night," all performed with a unique Irish twist. The album closes with the rousing "Good King Wenceslas," which is sure to get listeners in the Christmas spirit. An Irish Christmas Album is an excellent addition to any holiday music collection and is highly recommended for anyone who loves traditional Irish music.
