Patricia Murray
"Primrose"
Released July 2001
Independent Release

A relatively new name on the Canadian Celtic Music Scene is Prince Edward Island singer/songwriter Patricia Murray.

In her new CD "Primrose," you can hear the passion in her voice. She is sure to receive acclaim and praise with this album, which contains her own compositions and arrangements.

Her voice has an angelic and ethereal quality to it...covering such beautiful tunes as Caledonia and Auld Lang Syne, which send shivers up your spine. The pure sound in her voice brings Dougie MacLean's "Caledonia" to life...just as good as the original.

The honesty in Patricia's songs can take you back to a less hectic era...when everyone was so carefree. If you'd like to forget the problems, even if just for the time being, put on Patricia's CD, sit down, close your eyes and relax...you're sure to feel better.

Patricia relates old stories to situations familiar today. In "Schooldays Over," the song refers to the Welsh children who had to leave school to work in the mine...a situation also familiar on the East Coast of Canada.

New life is given to the old Irish song "My Johnny" by Patricia, as is the Irish balled "I Courted a Wee Girl." It's nice to see the old tunes recorded again to bring them to a new audience.

Patricia recorded "Primrose" at Inception Sound in Toronto with a wonderful producer by the name of Chad Irschick. He has worked with some of the East Coast's biggest Celtic names including The Rankins, Bruce Guthro and Natalie MacMaster.

Patricia has an appreciation for songs passed down through the generations and now it's your turn to take this CD home and do the same!

I'll leave you with these words from Patricia...
