The Road Back Home by Loreena McKennitt

The road back home started appearing on my feed weeks before the release. So glad to listen to it via Apple Music in Lossless Dolby Atmos. If you haven’t yet, I encourage you, as the experience is remarkable.

The album has 10 folk classic songs dusted and brought to life by McKennitt’s unique delivery. Other artists her age would show the wear and tear of time, as the human voice is subjected to age just like the rest of the human body. But with McKennitt, this has never been evident. She is like a vocal athlete, keeping her singing fit through the years. I mean, that alone is worth the commendation!

As with any album from hers, the music puts you in a kind of mood. Her’s is a distinct flavor that you are either into it or not at all.

This is a live album and all the songs are remarkably recorded showcasing her virtuosity as a live performer. This is something that studio artists would never ever reach, as performing live takes years of discipline and craft. 

The Road Back Home is a satisfying journey. Perhaps your love for Celtic music has waned through the years, but this will remind you why you got into it in the first place.
