Why do I have a different tracklisting to you guys? I have 15 tracks. No one has rated 'Le Notte Silenzio' or 'Sanca Lucia'? I know there will be different versions, just surprised they are popping up so soon.

Hi Nicola,

Oksana is basing her question on the tracklisting of Celtic Treasure (including the bonus track 'E Pari Ra'), released in the US. I just went along with it!

I'm sure Oksy won't mind if you use the UK tracklisting.

I love your ratings, Steve.
I'm still thinking about my own rates. Weirdly enough,they are all close to 10. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

The bonus track was on Itunes I think, because it wasn't on the actual cd.

After listening to Celtic Treasure a ton of times, I'll try to do this.

Let Me Lie - 10
Scarborough Fair - 8.5
Shenandoah - 8
Summer Fly - 10
Whispering Hope - 9
Danny Boy - 8
Summer Rain - 10
The Last Rose of Summer - 5
One Fine Day - 8.5
Sonny - 9.5
The Water Is Wide - 8.5
Melancholy Interlude - 9.5
Abide With Me - 10

The only reason The Last Rose of Summer is so low is because I don't really like Meav's voice, otherwise it would have been an 8. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Lets see if I can get this in the right thread this time
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let Me Lie - 8 - basically a fine song for an early songwriting effort. Lyrics are a bit simple
Scarborough Fair - 8
Shenandoah - 9.5 I just love the background over the instrumentals during the middle of the number
Summer Fly - 9.5 -this song blew me away. I wish she was just a hint more solid on those low notes
Whispering Hope - 7 very pretty but less effective for those of us who do not wish to be "inspired" I think
Danny Boy - 7 a good cover of a song that has been done to death
Summer Rain - 9.5 a better song writing effort than Let Me Lie - but she seemed to run out of lyrics at the end
The Last Rose of Summer - 8
One Fine Day - 9
Sonny - 10 This is probably the first time a Hayley song has grown so much on me. I probably would have given it a 6 a week ago
The Water Is Wide - 9
Melancholy Interlude - 7
Abide With Me - 7.5 See Whispering Hope comment. I was impressed with the acapella solo.

Overall a solid 5 stars - I think she has had better technical moments in the past but the truth is that her voice has matured dramatically and her ability to deliver a song for emotional impact even more so.

Jon - who is a junior member now.....I feel so special
