Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Mary Black has the gift of being able to sing traditional and contemporary music with equal grace. No Frontiers is a beautiful example of her modern mode. Even when she is singing something as pop-oriented as Burt Bacharach's "Say a Little Prayer," Black's pure voice retains echoes of her roots. (Her father was a fiddler and her mother sang in dance halls in Dublin.) The arrangements are contemporary, but many of the songs have a distinctly old, folk tinge. Her grounding in traditional music gives her performances of new material a timeless feel. --Michael Simmons Customer Reviews

 Rating: - great singerHigh quality as always from Mary Black. Brilliant singer with unique sound and style. The songs are diverse and of all times. Rating: - Exquisite!How do you go about producing a record by an artist with a voice that is as clear as a mountain stream and as sweet as honey? First, you make sure that you have a collection of songs that are worthy of the voice. Second, you make sure that nothing in the production process, including musical arrangement, intrudes on the magic of the singing. Take a bow Declan Synott. This record is quite breathtaking in its beauty. Mary Black is Ireland's greatest undiscovered treasure. No Frontiers is a wonderful song rendered unforgettable by the astonishing vocals displayed by Black. Her rendition of Columbus is almost mystical. Black can switch between pop, blues, jazz and folk with a fluidity that is awesome. Hear her sing ... Read More: Rating: - A Gentle Pick-Me-UpHearing Mary Black sing "Say a Little Prayer for you" is alone, worth the price of the album. With her paradoxically strong and innocent voice, she breathes new life into that exciting, sing-along song. Every time my "random" function on my CD player selects that song, I turn the volume up and sing along. But there are a lot more treats on this album. COLUMBUS, with its smooth rhythms and bright, expansive vocals puts me in the perfect mood for taking a road trip every time. The album is just one fun, tender, folk/pop gem after another. It isn't my number one favorite of Mary Black's albums, but if I ever lost it ... I'd replace it immediately. It's not only an essential ingredient in a Mary Black collection, but ... Read More: Rating: - Still beautiful after all these years....Maybe it's because this album came along at a special time in my life; maybe it's because this was the first Mary Black album I ever owned; and maybe because this album contains some of the most beautiful and sophisticated songs and singing I've ever heard, that I can honestly say that it remains one of the best albums I have ever owned. I am always transported back to musical magic when listening to the title track--it is still as exciting to listen to as when I first heard "No Frontiers". "Carolina Rua" is a lilting, uplifiting song of great joy. "Columbus" is a dark, deep song about restlessness, and who would think that anyone could write and record a song titled "Fat Valley of Pain"? Yet Mary Black pulls it off, and this album is one succession ... Read More: Rating: - Pleasure without frontierI bought this disc 3 years ago. Since then, these songs have become a legend for me. This is the kind of music which enchantes you.The lyrics is sophisticated, the instruments subtle, and last but not the least, the quality of sound is simply astounding.You can sit back, and listen from the beginning to the end.My favorite songs are No frontiers (also contained on the unplugged album of The Corrs), and The Shadow.But it`s hard to make such statements as favourites.Mary Black lovers may find Loreena McKennitt, Suzanne Vega, Secret Garden congenial to their mind and soul as well. These are not of background music!!!Adam from Düsseldorf |
