Sons of Somerled features the sonic treat of densely layered synthetic instrumentation shot through with heavy-duty vocal emoting, recalling both fellow Scotsman Dougie MacClean and the ballads of English pop star Phil Collins. Romantic in its notions of nationalism, war, and history, Sons of Somerled recalls man's love affair with the sea, the bluster and pride of the likes of Braveheart, and the all-consuming quest for the eternal soul mate. Such heady aspirations coupled with dreamy musical accompaniment speak to an audience hungry for the bittersweet passion of life writ by the unseen hand of fate. --Paige La Grone

Customer Reviews:

I have worn this CD out!.......2004-12-09

Deep rythmic songs that carry carry both a message and sound that is vast and deep. The vocals are great! This is not the violin folk music you are used to....It is on a much grander scale. Friends who would never try this CD now own it after listening to mine.

This Album Is Very Impressive.......2004-06-30

I was first introduced to Steve McDonald via this album. It is an excellent collection of songs that can draw forth many emotions. This album is probaly the best out of this series. He has 3 other albums that follow in the same vein, Stone of Destiny, Highland Farewell, and Legend. Each of those albums is Excellent, but they are all very different. I think that this album is still the best, even after listening to the other 3 cds many Many times over, I keep on comming back to this album. I don't think that there is even one song that I don't care for, I can't say that about the other albums, Well, yes I guess I can, but for some reason, this album is still my favorite collection of Steve McDonald songs. Get this album and let yourself be taken away on a journey through a Celtic soul.

"Modern" Celtic?.......2002-08-05

Few things raise a heated debate quicker than what is "Celtic" music in a modern context. Steve McDonald successfully, IMHO, fuses the traditional celtic with a more modern beat. I am not a huge fan of the traditional celtic folk music, but I like it well enough. Sons of Sommerled is an extrememly popular album with a number of my friends, even those who are staunch "don't mess with tradition" type of celtic fans. I had this album in cassette, now's my chance to get the CD.
