What goes Around by Vicki Smith As an avid Celtus fan, I was extremely excited about the release of What Goes Around. There was absolutely no question in my mind, of course, as to whether I would like it or not!! All their material is superb. The tracks on this CD have fantastic lyrics, and you can hear every single word John sings, clearly, which I feel is so important. I have all their albums and have happily listened to them for hours upon end. Celtus are magical - whether on a CD at home, or on stage. Whatever mood you may find yourself in, you will find a Celtus track to suit. What Goes Around continues on this theme - their traditional Irish instrumentals are happy and fun, their love songs are heart-wrenching, their medium tempo songs tell wonderful stories of life and love we can all identify with - with great choruses you find yourself singing to all the time. I often wake in the morning with one or another of the tracks floating around in my mind. Their harmonies give me goosebumps!! This album is full of the most wonderful surprises. It is so well balanced and takes the listener through a whole host of gorgeous sounds and emotions - I am thrilled to bits with it. Their albums do stand the test of time - you can keep on playing them, month after month, year after year, and they will sound just as fantastic. Alan and I saw them in concert last week, and they went down an absolute storm. Tracks to watch for, although they are all wonderful, are Jigsaw: which is fun and funky with a great lilting section, Changes: I'm sure you'll be singing the chorus to this track all the time, Angel: A sad story beautifully told, What Goes Around: very exoctic indeed and another great chorus to sing to, and Shelter: absolutely stunning, very haunting indeed (get your hanky at the ready). Perfection: speaks for itself - fantastic track. There are many, many gorgeous sounds to soak up, haunting pipes, acoustic guitar, bouzouki, mandolin, electric guitar, fiddle and some lovely piano playing - lots to excite the senses. Great variety of rythms too. I'm sure you will agree, the Celtus magic is as evident as ever - sheer class!!! Well done boys - we really appreciate you. P.S. The photo attached is of our daughter, Ellie, aged 4 - a Celtus fan. Although, she is not listening to Celtus here - maybe that is why she nodded off!!! It's probably NOW 4 thousand and something......
