Silver Sea by Meav I got lucky pulling random CDs out of the Irish music bin at the library. This was a solid album of traditional and modern songs. Meav has a light and flexible, if occasionally breathy voice. She opens with what sounded like the song of a mermaid living with her lover on land, and continued on with a surprisingly upbeat version of “Wicked Sister”, the murder of the beautiful younger sister accompanied by sparkling harp. There’s a lovely version of “Maid in Bedlam”, as well as some Gaelic songs that I recognized but didn’t know by name. (Yes, I listen in the car, so no looking up titles.) She’s a new artist to me, but if you like Celtic or folk music, I highly recommend her.
