Music Review: Celtic Thunder: Christmas Voices

 Celtic Thunder is a male answer to Celtic Woman.  The album Christmas Voices was released in 2013 by Celtic Thunder.  There are six singers, Colm Keegan, Keith Harkin, Ryan Kelly, Neil Byrne, Emmet Cahill and George Donaldson.  The each perform a solo, and then they do several group songs.  Neil sings Mary Did You Know?, Ryan, In the Bleak Midwinter, Colm Away in a Manger, Keith Comfort Ye from the Messiah, George Mary's Boy Child and Emmet Oh Holy Night.  I particularly like Mary's Boy Child with its upbeat rhythm.  It was brave do do Comfort Ye.  Ensemble numbers include O Come All Ye Faithful, God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen, The Christmas Song And Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.
