An Irish Christmas - Moya Brennan
“An Irish Christmas” is Moya’s 6th album and was released last year in the UK. This CD is a beautiful listening experience for Christmas in Moya’s signature sound. Many will know Moya as the first lady of Celtic music, the voice of Clannad and older sister to Enya. “An Irish Christmas” is a collection of Christmas carols celebrating Moya’s beliefs in the Nativity. The good thing about this CD is that there are two songs added that where not included on the UK release but the bad thing is Moya’s two original songs from the UK release where not included on this CD. My favorite song from this CD is “Carol Of The Bells” which is perfect for Moya’s haunting vocal style. Her song “Oiche Chin” Galic for “Silent Night” is sure to be a hit as her two children sing with her on it. This CD brought a touch of Ireland to my home last year with the UK release and I am sure will this year with this release.–Joshua Inman
