Great to have it back.......2000-10-24

I saw John McCutcheon playing this music when this album came out. It was a magical experience. He was learning from the Carter Family at the time and played around locally where I lived. A must have for any fan of the hammer dulcimer and/or mountain music. He was so far ahead then, he sounds current now.

A Great Hammer Dulcimer Release.......2000-10-17

The Wind That Shakes The Barley is one of John McCutcheon's earliest recordings. It features some truly wonderful hammer dulcimer playing in imaginitive arrangements.

A must listen.

Great music - fun to singalong.......2007-03-10

We have the Christmas Revels CD and loved that, but I can't stand Christmas music in February, so I bought this CD. My family adores it -- my kids, 4 and 6, love to sing along to it. There are a few drinking songs that praise alcoholic beverages (Good Ale, Jone's Ale), but I'm not sure my kids get the gist and it doesn't bother me.

I felt this was well worth the cost -- there are a lot of songs on here. I love that we can sing along to music that isn't sacchrine, dumb-downed, kids music and I like the historical nature of the tunes (the liner notes are great -- they give background on the May festival and each song has a few sentences of background, as well as providing the lyrics. There are a few songs that are instrumental, but most have singing).

Another album my family is enjoying is Dean Shostack Davy Crockett's Fiddle - they are instrumental early American fiddle tunes.

Very fresh and fun........2001-09-06

I defy you to not sing along with this album. The songs are catcy without being tiring, folksy without being simple, nostalgic without being sentimental. The Revel Singers make you feel like you're in the midst of a big party full of boisterous people having a great time. I was introduced to this album via my local eclectic radio station that played "Jones's Ale" one morning and I was hooked.

Refreshing Change from Tired Carols.......1999-12-29

Probably taken from one of the delightful annual Revels Christmas/holiday musicals, the sound is Christmas-y without being cloying. It's joyful, fresh and charming.

Simply Splendid.......1999-09-21

I only purchased this CD to satisfy my curiosity as to where I had seen this picture before. It was driving me batty. Beyond that, I really didn't expect too much. Sure, I enjoy the music of the New World Renaissance Band, and all, but this is simply lute songs, no singing, no harp, no cello, nothing else. So, I tore off the wrappings, let the CD fall to the floor and looked for the picture credits. Ah ha!! The cover is a detail of the Ambassadors, a picture ripe with Renaissance symbolism, if ever there was one. Recalling that the painting shows the lute with a broken string, to symbolize discord, my expectations were right down there on the floor with the CD. So, I put it away until vacation.

Well, what a pleasant surprise -- there is really wonderful music contained on this CD. Despite the choice of cover picture, there is only hauntingly sweet and melodious sound herein. Devoid of distractions like other instruments, or voice, these works take on a special quality all their own. Skillfully performed by Stefano Pardo, these songs display a remarkable range of emotions. An exciting surprise was, "My Lady Carey's Dumpe", (dumpe being a doleful song). Which lady Carey is this? Mary (nee Boleyn) Carey? Or, her daughter, Catherine? Whatever caused the lady's sorrow? Was it being cast aside as Henry VIII's mistress in favor of your younger sister? Or, maybe it was watching your brother and that same sister die by beheading within a few days of each other as in Mary Carey's case. Or was Catherine Carey just finding out that the King just could be her father? Hm. Or, is this some other lady Carey saddened (most likely) by some man's disappointing behavior?

There's nothing disappointing to me about this CD. Highly recommended.

Customer Reviews:

Lovely music, lovely voices.......2003-01-26

What can I say? There's not a bad track. The title song, "Fortune Turns the Wheel" is sung with effective emotion. "Sweet Lisbweemoore" will make you wish you were in Ireland. Much of the solo vocal work is by Heidi Wagner, whose voice I could listen to forever, but all the singers are great. The instrumentation includes Scottish small-pipes or concertina, both designed to be listened to in a quiet setting.

Vermont seems to be the homeland of good acoustic music, and the "Fortune Turns the Wheel" group does the state proud.
