Summary: A beautiful Gaelic voice hailing from the western isles of Scotland
Comment: Anyone that likes Celtic music is in for a real treat listening to Julie Fowlis and her very talented band! My CD arrived just in time before their US tour next month. Enjoy!

Summary: Mesmerizing
Comment: I first heard Julie Fowlis watching the Hogmanay broadcast for BBC Scotland in 2005. I was transfixed in front of the tv. I felt as if I'd finally discovered something I'd been looking for for years and simply hadn't realized. Her voice is exquisite. I love the sound of the instruments. Both of her two CDs are wonderful, but I believe I prefer Cuilidh. Some tracks that really stand out for me are Mo Ghruagach Dhonn, 'Ille Dhuinn, 's Toigh Leam Thu, Mo Dhòmhnallan Fhèin, Turas San Lochmor, Oran Nan Raiders, and Aoidh, Na Dèan Cadal Idir. Yeah, that's most of the CD, but in my defense it was too difficult to pick fewer tracks. This CD is wonderful, just wonderful.

Summary: Excellent new voice..
Comment: Ms Fowlis is a great new voice that I hope will find her way to more American homes and on the Celtic music circut here in the US. Her voice is a wonderful representation of the Scottish Gaelic culture that has been missing in the market of late. Any of her CDS should belong in a serious Celtic music collectors library. While recently in Scotland we watched a documentary about her and her band and were impressed with her poise and love of not only the music but the culture of Scotttish Islands. She is truly a welcome ambassador for the Scottish Gaelic Community.

Summary: Excellent Celtic trad from the Scottish Hebrides
Comment:
A sweet Celtic set, with gorgeous songs from the Hebrides Islands in Western Scotland... Fowlis has a fine voice, perhaps not as earthy as some Hebridean traditionalists, but direct and full of feeling, sounding particularly lovely when singing in Gaelic. She works through a variety of styles -- fiddle tunes, a capella ballads, bouncy, bouzouki-ed folk -- backed by an all-star cast of modern Celtic music's young guard, luminaries such as John McCusker (of Battlefield Band and Kate Rusby fame), John Doyle (of Solas), Chris Thile (of the American newgrass band, Nickel Creek) and stray members of Altan, Capercaillie and Danu. It all gels together quite nicely -- fans of traditional music will definitely want to check this out! (DJ Joe Sixpack)

Following on from 'mar a Tha Mo Chridhe (As My Heart Is), her Award-winning Debut, Hebridean Songstress Julie Fowlis is Back with the Brilliant Follow-up 'cuilidh' - a Gaelic Noun (Pronounced Kool-ee) Meaning a Treasury Or Secret Hiding Place for Precious Things. As Ever the Songs and Tunes Are Shrouded in the Historical Folklore of her Native North Uist in the Western Isles of Scotland. Fowlis' Beautiful Voice, Coupled with an All-star Crew - Including Eamon Doorley (Danu), John Mccusker (Kate Rusby), Chris Thile (Nickel Creek), Mark Kelly (Altan), John Doyle (Solas) and Donald Shaw (Capercaillie) - all Combine to Create Another Spellbinding Selection of Traditional Material Gathered by Julie from the Tradition-bearers of her Homeland. Cuilidh Promises to Push Fowlis, and the Gaelic Culture She Represents, Way Beyond the Wild Shores of the Outer Hebrides.
