Critical reception

This is another superbly produced and crafted album from one of Ireland's most accomplished female singer-songwriters - it's a very fine collection crossing over into many musical styles - Celtic, country, folk, jazz and blues - and makes for intensely rewarding listening...... I honestly can't fault this beautifully crafted album. Debbie Koritsas [1]

gollark: It takes *days* to operate? Is there no GPU acceleration or something?

gollark: I see.

gollark: The new RK3588 SoC is seemingly barely able to match my quad-core Sandy Bridge CPU. And that has A76 cores, which are >twice as fast as A72s. At higher clocks.

gollark: I like metalcore too! Or some subset of it I have not worked out how to define.

gollark: Sad.
