Album Reviews:

Shelter Cove

"They have chosen some beautiful songs that don’t get recorded all that much. The singing is clear and pretty; the playing is solid and for the most part very upbeat! Quite an enjoyable listen."
Steve Winick, Dirty Linen

"Greenhouse are a very promising outfit. Their own material shows immense promise, and "Jamie Rayburn" and "Bonny Portmore" steal the show. Haunting and quietly beautiful."
John O’Regan, Rock’N’Reel

I Lie Awake

This songbook of traditional Celtic classics, will not disappoint. As clean and crystalline as an Irish spring."
John Beck, The Press Democrat

"Tasteful playing and dramatic singing."
Steve Winick, Dirty Linen

"Casey’s vocals betray an operatic tone but add to the lyrical qualities, and Rofkar’s accompaniments are solidly rounded and suit the subtle arrangements. Lush but laid-back and natural-sounding, this CD highlights one of the best unsung U.S. Celtic outfits - majestic."
John O’Regan, Rock’N’Reel

One Last Cold Kiss

Californians Greenhouse ...specialize in fresh, modern arrangements of familiar British Isles traditional songs, and some unexpected ones, too. The quintet's latest CD, One Last Cold Kiss, borrows its ballad-like title track from the 1970s heavy-metal band Mountain, which shows what fiddle and mandolin can do for a song. "The Dark-Eyed Sailor" gets a Latin-sounding beat along with some snappy flute and harmonies, and the ultimately happy tale of "Geordie" is backed with lively Dixieland-style tenor banjo. There are some sizzling tune sets too, like the jig set "The Fox's Revenge" that begins with "The Foxhunter's Jig" and darts off from there." Tom Nelligan, Dirty Linen
