This is the third album in the series in the space of a year, such is the popularity and appetite for Celtic-tinged music in the Christian bookshop market. This offering follows on from the format of previous volumes with well known old and new hymns given a Celtic flavour by an assembly of British musicians brought together by producer Andy Green. There is usually a topping and tailing of the hymn with a few pipes and whistles rather than a radical overhaul of the hymn presented in a new way. The songs are produced well enough but there are few surprises. However, "All Creatures Of Our God And King" with an ethereal feel to the hymn and a wonderful piano accompaniment to "Praise My Soul The King Of Heaven", ironically with no Celtic overtones, showcase two hymns worth revisiting.
