Return to the roots of Celtic tradition with Loreena McKennitt’s 2010 masterpiece, The Wind That Shakes The Barley. In this evocative album, McKennitt shifts focus from her signature Eastern-influenced soundscapes to embrace a purer, more intimate Celtic aesthetic that highlights her mastery of storytelling through song.
Produced with exquisite clarity, this collection features a blend of beloved traditional Irish ballads and original instrumental compositions. Listeners are invited into a world of haunting melodies and lush arrangements, characterized by delicate harp, acoustic guitar, and emotive violin work. Whether it is the joyous, uptempo feel of "As I Roved Out" or the atmospheric, chilling beauty of the title track, the album offers a perfectly balanced journey of humbleness and loss.
Highlights include:
- Stunning Arrangements: Crystal-clear production that makes every instrument an indivisible part of the whole.
- Essential Celtic Tracks: Features timeless interpretations of "Down By the Sally Gardens," "The Parting Glass," and "The Star of the County Down."
- Expert Musicianship: A rich tapestry of sound featuring harp, fiddle, uilleann pipes, and bouzouki.
An essential addition for any fan of world-class folk music, The Wind That Shakes The Barley is a timeless, wintery, and deeply moving listening experience that rewards those who sit down and truly listen.
