iTunes Review
For those who have long admired the mystical musings of Canadian singer and harpist Loreena McKennitt, The Wind That Shakes the Barley is an album that brings her right back to her musical roots. Traditional tunes, with lyrics occasionally supplied by W.B. Yeats and James Joyce, the album is obviously close to McKennitt’s heart and mind. “The Star of the County Down” kicks her into a most spirited gear, however she’s just as emotional and true with the soft folk musings of “The Death of Queen Jane.” “On a Bright May Morning” aches with a soulful yearn that brings her Celtic connection in line with a classic folksinger such as Jody Collins. The title track offers a haunting modal drone that sways towards McKennitt’s ethereal side. By staying true to her musical roots and listening to her fellow musicians’ instincts, McKennitt has made an album that sounds so incredibly pleasing to the ear that it’s hard to believe that it’s taken her this long to get around to making it.
Customer Reviews
Is the entire album going up?
I love Loreena McKennitt - she is one of my favorite singers. And, I was super excited to hear that her album would be released on the 16th. Is the full album going up soon? Just curious. I will purchase it in a heartbeat if it is. :-) Thanks iTunes for reading my concern here. :-)
a return to her early work
This album harkens back to McKennitt's earlier, primarily Gaelic, inspired works and is a welcome return to the simpler songs that brought many of her fans. I am disappointed in Apple and iTunes in that they still haven't got the album posted, but you can save money by buying it digitally from McKennitt's website.

Please put up the entire album! I am waiting to purchase it!! Thanks.
