REVIEW by Dee Dee Finney of "Ode to Mother Earth" cassette
As it appeared in February issue of The New York Review of Records magazine.
Shaman
Ode to Mother Earth
This Celtic Folk-Rock group, led by dynamic siblings Brahm and Deirdre Stuart, is hard core pro-Earth. Besides contrastingly intense, blow-you-away voices,the group strums haunting high-energy music which begs your feet to jig, with guitars, mandolin, and Brahm's fiddle. The music never wanders far from its Celtic roots, or the characteristically lovely, eerie melodies and harmonies.
