In an
astonishingly short time, vocalist Heidi Talbot has gone
from a variety of club, session, and busking stints in her
native Ireland to fronting one of the world’s premier Celtic
music ensembles, the all-star Cherish the Ladies. One listen
to her solo album, the disarmingly gorgeous Distant Future,
and the reason for her rapid rise becomes instantly clear.
Her smooth, lilting voice is matched with a musical
intelligence and charisma rare for one so young. Coupled
with sterling production from John Doyle (ex-Solas) and a
cast of musicians from both Ireland and America, Talbot’s
graceful singing and adventurous spirit mark the arrival of
an important new singer on the Celtic horizon. |
