I assume you're talking about Blackmore's Night?

It's cheezy.  Not entirely without redeeming qualities, but the whole
pseudo-gypsy schtick just doesn't work very well.  The lyrics are
strained, the girl's voice is only mediocre, and the music sounds
repressed, like it's just *dying* to burst out into a big flaming
guitar solo (but perhaps unfortunately, it doesn't).
