Album Description
Mary Black is a performer equally at home singing traditional Irish folk tunes and contemporary music including blues, rock, jazz, country and soul. She was born into a musical family the daughter of a fiddler and a singer. She started out rofessionally with her brother and sister in Dublin nightclubs and then performed with General Humbert, a folk group until 1982 when she released her eponymous solo debut. 24 years and 10 albums later, Mary Black returns with 'Full Tide', an album that sees her singing with a newfound ease and confidence, neither forcing herself to belt unnaturally nor restricting her voice to a breathy whisper. This is a snapshot of a musician in her prime. Dolphin. 2006

"Full Tide" has all different kinds of moods in it. Sentimental, upbeat & perky, hopeful & soulful. I love every Mary Black recording and this is certainly no exception.

First release of "new" material by Mary Black in over five years. Promising track list with covers of Noel Brazil, Sandy Denny, Dylan; even a few penned by MB and son. The album is fairly reminiscent of Black's more recent releases, a mix of "adult contemporary" cuts with some folk, some traditional, a little gaelic thrown in for good measure.
Like many (most? imho) of her albums, it is the quiet, imtimate cuts that shine brightest on Full Tide. Mary's vocals come through strong, her allure is the way she can sing so beautifully and passionately with seeming effortlessness. But the lineup is a bit disjointed; it takes a while for this album to hit its stride.
Mary Black fans will nonetheless want to add this new material to their collection. If you are new to Mary Black, however, I would look to earlier albums (try "Holy Ground" for a more traditional sound, "Speaking with the Angel" for a bit more contemporary sound) as an introduction to MB's beautiful vocals before trying Full Tide.

I've been in love with this lady's voice and delivery since I first heard her version of "Who Knows Where The Time Goes" some years back. I'm currently on a kick of listening to only my Mary Black collection.
