Kritiken
"Cara have proven once again that they are the gold standard of Continental Celtic Music, original and respectful in equal measure, at home with tunes and songs both old and new and are now surely part of our living tradition."
Irish Music Magazine (IRE)"(…)there’s a real sense of togetherness and non-competitive authority about the playing, key features being Kim’s masterful and forthright yet elegant piano work, Gudrun’s blazing, beacon-like fiddling with its exemplary command of phrasing, and the relaxed chameleon-like instrumental talents of Hendrik and Jürgen – elements all faultlessly executed and brilliantly coordinated with a strong feel for complementary textures. At the same time, both Kim and Gudrun once again prove themselves to be outstanding song interpreters. You can’t lose with this band."
The Living Tradition (UK)"(They) combine to make an album of sheer quality, each note soars, each response to another’s insight is cast with opportunity, philosophical ingenuity and spirit; a vast and incredible feat in a world that always is on the edge of jealousy and rivalry. In their eighth studio album, Cara have reached a pinnacle of performance, whether that is down to the circumstances that have been around us for the last 18 months, or because they gel so well that they, as a unique form, can triumph with solemnity is not for others to chat over, instead it is just to be accepted that they hold decorum in their hand and deliver an album of worth, of sublime interpretation."
Liverpool Sound and Vision (UK)"Nach 15 Jahren haben Cara nicht nur eine technische Reife erreicht, die ihres gleichen sucht, sondern auch einen selbstbewussten eigenen Stil entwickelt, der Einflüsse von beiden Seiten des Atlantik organisch verbindet."
Celtic-Rock.de (D)"Irish/German/Scots aggregation Cara work best in the live arena, their amphidexterous [sic] abilities and musical know how working to their advantage. The epic ballad Little Musgrave hangs on emotional dexterity while the tune sets blend pastorality and uplift in proportion. Great."
