Heraud and Turner album cover

“The Moon Shines Bright” Lynne Heraud and Pat Turner
Wild Goose Records WGS321CD

Lynne and Pat are two of the most experienced harmony singers around. This CD has about a 50/50 mix of traditional and contemporary tracks all beautifully sung with occasional accompaniment.

As expected, Lynne's own songs have that music hall comedy feel to them but this is not my first choice of music; I find sixteen tracks of the same two voices, with little tonal variation is a bit too much for me.

Needless to say, their harmonies are outstanding with clear bright diction and there is one advantage of CDs over older formats; you can dip in and out and have your fill very easily.

I am sure there are many folk out there who will lap it up because the material is well chosen and performed to perfection. Lynne and Pat have devout followers who will be delighted with this CD.
