Rating: - THE JOURNEY CONTINUES
Although this CD is basically a combination of songs from the two previous albums it still is a nice addition. As with the two previous CDs this is a tapestry of five beautiful voices, Mairead's powerful performance, along with a fantastic chorus and orchestra performing a colorful blend of Celtic, adult contemporary and classical music woven together by the genus of David Downes. Songs such as The Voice, and Orinoco Flow, and of course Mairead's Shenandoah-The Contradiction are always enjoyable to hear. There are also some new songs which are not heard on the other CDs such as Green the Whole Year Round which although a Christmas song still sounds appropriate for any season, The Call, Pie Jesu, and recording of live performance of The Spanish Lady, and Mo Ghile Mear. This is the CD you can keep in your vehicle and listen to while performing daily errands or take to work and help ease the stress we all fell. The other Celtic Woman CDs can remain safely at home to be enjoyed in quiet solitude.

Rating: - Music was great, product was much less than expected
The content of the CD was as desired. The condition of the product was less than desirable. I need to read the sellers description much closer next time.

Rating: - I'm hooked!
I first heard of CW thru my local PBS station and thought their music was pretty and their voices were just lovely. And then I heard them again - and again. I found myself searching for the next time that PBS would again broadcast any of the CW shows. They absolutely have me hooked! I bought the Greatest Journey CD and listen to it constantly in my car. I can't wait until they come here to Memphis on their tour. Of course, I've already arranged for my tickets! I love this CD and their music. I think they have the purest voices that I've heard.

Rating: - This is a "best of"
If you own other Celtic Woman CD's, and want a "Best Of" this is for you. If you are looking for new songs, try something else. This is about 90% previously recorded songs.

Rating: - nothing new
I love Celtic Woman, that means I already have all their dvd's and cd's. I was so disappointed that this dvd was made up of clips from each of their previous dvd's (Celtic Woman, New Journey, Christmas). If you don't own any of their other dvd's or cd's then I would recommend this for you as a "best of" album but, if like me, you already have all the others you might be as disappointed at the lack of new material as I was.
