The bulk of the songs on this, Julie?s first solo album, are from the rich north Uist song repertoire. These songs, and Julie?s interpretation of them, are a sheer delight. There are also three instrumental tracks on mar a tha mo chridhe which serve to remind us of Julie?s tremendous prowess as an instrumentalist. As alluded to in its title, mar a tha mo chridhe or ?as my heart is? this album brims with passion, pathos and intimacy, and confirms Julie as one of the brightest stars in the galaxy of Gaelic singers.
