I was prepared to aver that Christie Moore/Planxty's version was superior but as I've sat here listening this has grown on me. I really like it.🐨

Loreena began her career focusing on traditional Irish and Scottish songs and now she is roving back to her Celtic roots with this album. I like her take on this tune; cool arrangement and, as usual, her ethereal voice is a highlight. 
Double CRAP... Ludovico Einaudi then this? OMG
Bill are you upset with one of your long term subscribers??

Fine... I'll put on a cd or play an mp3 or something...

Kinda reminds me of "The Battle of Evermore", but other than that... didn't quite like it.
Itchy fingers, rising blood pressure, irritation.
I've heard many a bar-singer put more emotion and vocal range into this song (excepting the one nasal tenor who performed it like dirge).
Way past her "best by" date.

I'm an avid Loreena fan.....this however is not the best choice or representation of her music......

hmmmm...I gave it a 5 and the average went from 5.6 to 5.7. Is that even possible?

What the F is this?
I hate all this ridiculous RIVERDANCE-BULL...
but this song touches me!

Though I do enjoy this...I tend to like her instrumentals far more.

However, the band with her was incredible. I wanted them to just keep jamming.
So, I know she's reeeally popular...but...her voice is so pinched and nasally in the higher register. Kind of annoying.

For a much better version of this, please check out The Prodigals: https://prodigals.com/. Way too slow for my taste...

Love this song — thanks so much for playing!
After hearing the damn bagpipes, my score jumped from a 7.... to a 4.

Hmm. It's strange hearing die-diddle-eye-dum music in a non-Irish accent. Credit to McKennitt for giving Irish folk music a go and 'softening it up' for non-Irish audiences, but I'd have to hear a few more numbers to see how well she's done with the project. The Wind That Shakes The Barley is a powerful song which could be mangled by a non-Irish singer without historical understanding. A middle-of-the-road 5 from the half-Irish Nottingham jury.
So, I know she's reeeally popular...but...her voice is so pinched and nasally in the higher register. Kind of annoying.

It does sound like her other song.

No actually, it's pretty different - keep listening.
