It`s good that Gaelic singing has a new poster girl in Julie Fowlis. The Scots-born vocalist from the tiny island of North Uist grew up with the language and traditional song, but she`s expanded from that to thankfully include contemporary Gaelic songs from composers who are keeping the beauty of the language alive. That she`s a captivating vocalist is immediately apparent from the opening cut, a piece of puirt-a-buel, or mouth music, that was used by women to accompany communal work (she expands on this in the lovely "Puirt-A-Buel Set" later in the disc). She`s at her best on the slower material that demonstrates the sheer beauty of her voice, like "Mo Ghuargach Dhonn." She`s a mean whistle player, too, and has the chance to show her chops on "Set of Jigs." Lovely as the traditional material is, it`s the modern songs that are the delight, carefully selected and lovingly presented -- easy to do with the fabulous cast of musicians playing on the album. It`s a sign that Gaelic song is flourishing again after being largely ignored for far too long. With young artists like Fowlis in the vanguard, it`s a very welcome return. ~ Chris Nickson
