"...the playing is of virtuoso quality." "Balance and variety are the order of the day with an eveness of moods between celebration and thought provoking....as accomplished an example of Cape Breton music played with style and authority as one can wish for." "J.P.'s fiddle has a lovely, rich tone, especially on the three airs....the playing is fantastic and J.P. plays all the other instruments too, and turns out to be a pretty mean flat-picker!" "I'm sure there are few people with an interest in folk music, who have not heard of the Rankin Family or The Barra MacNeils over the last couple of years. J.P.Cormier is not so well known in these parts yet but could become a worthy successor in a very short time...what a pity some of the local sound technicians were not here to hear the superb sound balance achieved by this group...they had it judged to near perfection, something we do appreciate so much." "There were too many highlights during the weekend to name them all, but this will go down as the festival of the guitar in my books. J.P. Cormier tops them all. The Canadian played the reels effortlessly with a speed that amazed me." "...now the stars of the whole shooting match...J.P.Cormier & Company...he not only plays his guitar and sings wonderfully well but he also played a fiddle as good as the guitar. A man of many, many talents." "J.P. sings as well as he plays....left you with no choice but to listen, such was the quality." "Irrespective of how good he may be as a singer-songwriter, his prowess as a fiddler is beyond reproach. Intriguing and heartfelt...this album will ensure he's never short of session work." |
