Review
This collection of classic Celtic folk songs -- including "She Mov'd Thro' the Fair," "Bonnie Strathyre," "The Dawning of the Day," "The Road to the Isles," and a charming rendition of "I Dream of Jeannie with the Light Brown Hair" -- from the esteemed Father Sydney MacEwen features only simple piano accompaniment and the rich, brogue-heavy voice of the man himself. Listening to The Road to the Isles is like walking into a sepia-tone picture of the Scottish Highlands in spring. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music GuideTracks
