Celtic Woman - Believe

Celtic Woman-BelieveThe female counterpart to the Irish Tenors, Celtic Woman is one of pop’s most successful franchises, with sales of over six million CDs worldwide. On their latest album, singers Chloë Agnew, Lisa Kelly, Lisa Lambe and violinist Máiréad Nesbitt continue to blend classic Irish songs like “The Water is Wide” with such pop favorites as “Bridge Over Troubled Water” and “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” The ladies even take a classical turn, lending their sweet, angelic voices to Schubert’s beloved Latin hymn “Ave Maria.”
