Customer Reviews

"It is about you ~ Ennis Sisters"
You know the Ennis Sisters can really knock you off your feet ~ much like the title and lyrics of their album "It's Not About You", harmonious fifteen tracks of a wonderful release from Rounder Records. We have three talented young ladies Maureen, Karen and Teresa Ennis, who by the way are really sisters. Each at the top in their field ~ Maureen (guitar/composer), Karen (tin whistle/flute) and Teresa (bodhran) all vocalize with the purest harmony on this planet. There is a trace of celtic in their style, as traditional country and folk come to the surface.

Highlights come to mind ~ "SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE", opening has a magic that can last through time ~ "IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU", wonderful melody, with catchy and true to life lyrics ~ "OCTOBER WIND", love the acoustic guitar opening, just remember everything's all right while they sleep tonight ~ beautiful and touching song that lingers when the music ends.

Rounder Records and the Ennis Sisters have come up with an emotional album that takes the listener through musical corridors ~ each passage has love and understanding ~ truly an amazing experience ~ and yes, this is a keeper.

About Time!
I've been waiting a long time for the "Ennis Sisters" great music to be available to U.S. audiences. This is a wonderful group and I can't recommend this CD highly enough! Over the years, I've purchased their earlier CDs by having friends buy them for me on trips to Canada, and have been looking forward to being able to buy their new music here in the States. I had the privilege of hearing them in concert a few months back, and they were everything I'd come to expect, and more!

If you're looking for a fresh sound, with amazing voices and harmonies, and great songs, then get this CD. You won't be disappointed!

Not exactly what I expected
I will start by saying that I am not a fan of country music. That said, I first heard The Ennis Sisters on The Chieftain's CD, "Fire In The Kitchen" and fell in love with the vocal harmonies. Over the past few years I have kept my eye out for one of The Ennis Sisters CDs to try out. Being from the states, I found it a bit tougher to find than I thought it might be. When I found "It's Not About You" for a bargain price, I jumped on it.

Let's just say that I am glad that I didn't pay full price for this disc. Now, it isn't the voices that I had fallen in love with on "Fire"; those are still there and almost as brilliant. The problem that I have is the distance that they have pulled away from their Celtic roots and the inconsistencies in the songwriting on this disc. I found the first half of the CD to be fairly decent, but the second half just dragged.

The Ennis Sisters, to steal a line from Randy Jackson, could sing the phone book and make it sound great. But on this disc, if you take the vocals out of the equation, most of this offering falls flat. The songs that I found to be decent are "Knocks Me Off My Feet", "It's Not About You", and "I'd Never Walk Away". A few others are ok, but the balance does nothing for me.

I don't hear the similarities to The Dixie Chicks, but I do hear a very strong connection to Wilson Phillips, only in a country setting. I would like someday to hear their older material as what I have hear of their new stuff, under the moniker Ennis (with just the two older sisters), just doesn't excite me like the "Red is the Rose" era material.
