by Catherine L. Tully
Artist: Heidi, Stef & Bow Triplets Album: "One Spot on Earth" Year produced: 2002 Those familiar with the Irish fiddle will recognize the name of this band as something as unique as the musical style itself. Bowed triplets is a term for the three short, quick strokes on the fiddle that add pulse and flavor to the music. The name of the band is almost a little misleading however, as their sound flows throughout the CD, running the range from jigs and reels to more contemporary sounds.  Track 6, Cock Of The North, has some truly beautiful harmonies. The voices blend seamlessly with the instruments at moments, giving the song a truly neat sound. Overall, there is a nice mix of slow and fast tunes on this CD. The Bow Triplets aren't afraid to do their own interpretations of favorites such as Lord of The Dance, using those smooth harmonies and their musicianship to bring their own feel to the tune.Not all of the tracks use voice. Some choose to let the music stand alone, and although pleasant, truly I preferred the vocal songs. The band players are expert, but the harmonies are really what sets Bow Triplets apart more than anything else since it is done easily, and well. All in all this CD was a good listen, and with 16 tracks, there is plenty to keep the listener happy! Buy the Album: "One Spot on Earth" Catherine L.
