Free Music Notes for An Irish Evening: Live At The Grand Opera House, Belfast
Free Music Review: I've always been more of a bagpipe and fiddle guy....
Hit: 5 Stars
But I will not add my voice to those saying "Roger go home" the songs were great and the Chieftains were and are still the best Celtic group ever. I just had no idea this album was that old (1992)
Case in point last march I got dragged along with some friends to see "Celtic Women" whom I had never heard of and now that I think about I wish I had just stayed home and listen to this album.
The Chieftains understand something that a lot of the newer Gallic/Celtic/Neopagen bands don't live performances are about pleasing the crowd not getting on stage and showing off. Say what you will about the Chieftains but all of their songs are a treat.
An Irish Evening: Live At The Grand Opera House, Belfast Poster
During the early '90s, the Chieftains embarked upon a series of multigenre crossover recordings. Major pop stars were brought in as guest artists and a few had the goods, but others came across as wannabes or well-meaning if clueless PR victims. This Grammy-winning live album from 1992 features the Who's Roger Daltrey and American singer Nanci Griffith. Sadly, Griffith's husky, thin-textured voice is inadequate to the demands of Irish vocal ornamentation and phrasing. Daltrey, meanwhile, sounds raucous, unidiomatic, and amateurish; plus his presence with a traditional Irish music ensemble in the middle of British-occupied Belfast seems a bit much. In any case, courting comparison with the Chieftains' own singer, Kevin Conneff, is a risky business at best. The instrumentals are typically accomplished and future Riverdance diva Jean Butler provides charmingly percussive footwork, but the trap drummer on the last tune is glaringly out of place. --Christina RodenFolk Music CDs
