I Am a River

Nominated for 2006 Album of the Year by international radio hosts. Praised by Yo-Yo Ma as “one of the greats in modern Celtic music,” Bill Leslie crafted 15 new and original songs inspired by the artist’s love for rivers.

Leslie’s smooth, evocative and highly melodic songs are enhanced by swelling orchestral strings particularly on “Tall Ships,” the official song of the 2006 America’s Sail Maritime Festival.

The overall mood of the album brims with nostalgia, sentiment, intimacy, and anticipation. This truly stunning collection is dedicated to Bill’s musical mentor Mícheál Ó’Domhnaill (1951-2006) of Ireland.
