Hrytsak

Love this album. At first 'glance', this is straight folk, maybe with a little pop thrown in. But then you start digging the songs, and it's so much more. There's the "straight" or "almost straight" folk (Flowers of Bermuda, Black Fox, Adrift), but then there's an Arthurian song, folk melody, with a *swinging* bass line (!), the "Spanish-tinged" title track. The descriptions are, of course, highly subjective, and anyway it's all just words. Listen to the album, it's good.

The Road to Santiago
author: James Harrod
What beauty! The poetic constructions of these lyrics are some of the finest I have ever heard. Black Fox, Flowers of Bermuda, Medusa, Pear Tree, the Hunter, with its subtle merging of falconry and love imagery, each song is stunning. As one trained in anthropology and comparative religion, I was especially struck by the song Sedna. I am promoting Heather's CDs among all my friends.

Celtic-flavoured Goodness
author: S Fox
I've been listening to Heather for a long time now and while I think "May Queen" is still my favourite Heather Dale CD, this comes a close second. Over the years her voice and instrumentals have become more and more polished. If you really enjoy Heather's style of music then you should check out her website to see her whole CD catalog. Heather has great Celtic influences and SCA roots... Well done.
