Free Music Review: Great Blend, Great Listening
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm completely happy with my purchase of this CD. It with take you thru different moods and styles. Killybegs for Irish-flavored country to the sublime Nobody's Darlin' But Mine with Emmylou Harris. Really nice rendition of Cotton-Eyed Joe, a real foot stomper. I play tracks from this CD on my radio show called The Fitz Mix. Paddy Maloney and the Chieftains are very good at producing wonderfully mixed recordings.
Another Country Poster
Appalachian and Irish acoustic trad music make an appealing combination, and the Chieftains and their stateside colleagues do ample justice to both in this Grammy-winning charmer. American Country music developed primarily from Scots-Irish and British folk tunes, rather than the Chieftains' more usual Gaelic sources, but there was considerable borrowing and one melody often turned up with multiple sets of lyrics. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band perform here with an aplomb that recalls their legendary "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" sessions (a version of that tune also appears on the CD). Other participants include Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson, Chet Atkins, banjo renaissance maestro Bela Fleck, New Grass Revival's Sam Bush, and bluegrass diehard Ricky Skaggs. --Christina RodenIt's a truism that Irish music was the basis of many of the Appalachian ballads and dance tunes that in turn evolved into country music, so it's only natural that the Chieftains would collaborate with American country stars like Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, Don Williams, Chet Atkins, Ricky Skaggs, and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on this album. Nelson, Harris, and Williams prove such dominating singers that the Chieftains seem to disappear into the background. A more equal balance is struck with the more instrumentally minded Americans like Skaggs, Atkins, Bela Fleck, Jerry Douglas, and Sam Bush, and it's a treat to hear the Irish fiddles and tin whistle floating above Fleck's banjo and Skaggs's mandolin on "Will the Circle Be Unbroken." --Geoffrey Himes
