Loreena McKennitt (from the album The Road Back Home (live) available as a self-release) (by Danny McCloskey)
 
Contemporary Celtic musician Loreena McKennitt took her music to Ontario, Canada for the recording of her recent release, The Road Back Home. Performed at four Canadian Folk festivals, The Road Back Home was recorded in the summer of 2023. Her voice a force-of-nature, Loreena McKennitt is a leader in the Celtic Music scene, continuing to push the borders of the genre out while she honors both traditions and the artists that hones the craft.
 
Of the album’s ten tracks, a few of the songs can trace lineage back to Loreena’s early days on the Folk circuit. Tender notes land like the rays of an early morning sun in “On a Bright May Morning” as a reel wraps around “Custom Gap” while “Salvation Contradiction” spins a medley and “The Star of County Down” skips on a sparkling rhythm for the tale. Loreena McKennitt effortlessly lets her voice soar across The Road Back Home, opening the album on a quiet instrumentation as her vocals reach for the sky in “Searching for Lambs”, exiting the album on tradition with the medley “Si Bheag, Si Mhor/Wild Mountain Thyme”.
