 What a disappointment March 15, 2007

The CD did not include many of the best songs that were on the DVD, such as Orinco Flow, Sing Out, and Spanish Lady, as well as others.
Turns out there is a deluxe version that is supposed to include them, but apparently is very hard to find.
Accordingly, this definitely is a classic example of bait and switch marketing. The producers obviously intended to mislead customers, by using a cover on the CD similar to that on the DVD.
In any event, I will not order the deluxe version. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Amazon needs to put a disclaimer on this advertisement warning customers that the content of the CD is not the same as the DVD..

Although these women have great singing voices the music sounds as if it was created by Disney. If you are a fan of and own the Lion King CD you will love this CD. I was looking more for music like the Midevil babes, who I like because of there style of music and beutiful voices but this is not it. I was looking forward to this music since I heard one song on PBS. Should have investigated more.
Buy the deluxe version instead February 11, 2007

I almost completely wasted my money on this version when some of my favorite songs are only found on the deluxe version. I think it is a really cheap ploy to have 2 versions when the deluxe version is a bit harder to find. I almost bought the regular version without even realizing that it was incomplete. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. Get the deluxe version and get the real deal.
 Not quite as good as the first cd but still lovely January 31, 2007

I am a big fan of Celtic Woman. I was introduced to the women thanks to my local PBS station that aired their first televised special just over a year ago. "A New Journey" is music from their latest dvd of the same name. I caught a televised airing on it last month on my PBS station so I knew what to expect on their cd. Hayley Westenra joins Celtic Woman and she is a nice addition to the group. Her voice is somewhere between Chloe's and Lisa. I have to admit that the music took me awhile to grow on. The songs didn't leave me breathless like their self-titled album did but after a few hundred listens, I was ready for some new music. There are a couple of songs on the album that the women sing without the orchestra, "Over the Rainbow" and "Beyond the Sea" (well for the most part). I wasn't really big on hearing the women sing acapella but it wasn't bad. Just different. One of my favorite songs on the cd is "The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun" (all five women sings on the song), it is kinda bombastic but it is a perfect opener for the cd. My other favorite song is the beautiful "Caledonia" which is sung by Lisa Kelly. That song stood out for me on this cd as did "Someday" did on their self-titled album. I also enjoyed "Vivaldi's Rain". I thought it was odd hearing lyrics to the song but still lovely song. The production is slick. Melodies are lush. Nothing new or innovative but I still enjoyed listening to "A New Journey". Overall "A New Journey" is definitely worth having for Celtic Woman fans.
 Awesome Celtic Woman February 17, 2007

I had seen the TV special of "New Journey" on PBS, and had to get the CD. The voices, the harmonizing, and the music is just outstanding!!! I'm in awe of the talent these ladies have and share! Makes me want to be right there to see and hear this wonderful music!
