Free Music Notes for Long Black Veil
Free Music Review: Incredible!
Hit: 5 Stars
I just love this CD. Over 8 years ago my much older coworker turned me onto this album. It is definetly not just for St Paddy's day. This is an album you can listen to over and over. The Sinead songs are a bit whiney, but she does have an excellent voice. You can not get better that Mic and Sting. Sting's song is just incredible. Free Music Review: From them, a huge disappointment

The opening track is an awesome collaboration with Sting. I thought that if the rest of the CD was that good, I'd love it. It isn't, and I don't. In fact, there are only two tracks on this disk I really like. The only other song I liked on it was the very funny Changing Your Demeanor (who knew Derek Bell could honky-tonk like that?!). The rest of it just doesn't work. Tom Jones does such a hammy job of Tennessee Waltz, he ruins one of my all-time favorite songs. And I'm sorry, but Mick Jagger singing The Rocky Road to Dublin is just wrong.
A rare misfire from a usually rock-reliable group of musicians.
Free Music Review: Great group, great guests.

It's hard not to like a "Chieftains" album. They're pretty much THE name in traditional Irish instrumentation. It's even harder not to like when it includes guest artists such as "Sting", "Sinead O' Connor", "Marianne Faithfull", "Van Morrison", "Mark Knopfler", and "The Rolling Stones", among others. I'd say every one of these match-ups is a good one, and even though "Tom Jones" may seem out of place here, he still does a good job too. I must say however, "Sinead" does possibly the best performance here, she is just perfect for her 2 songs. Of course despite the major help here, it's still very much a "Chieftains" album, and they're so very good on each track, you don't forget that. This is soon to be re-released also.Free Music Review: Outstanding recording
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought this recording based on hearing a chieftains cd at a party... and let me tell you I was pleasantly suprized to hear the quality of this group. Late on the scene I am, but better late than never...The quality of the weaving of celtic rythms and quality singing from superstars makes this outing very refreshing.
My favorite on the CD is Mick Jagger in his great vocals on the soung LONG BLACK VEIL. i have heard many covers of this, and MJ does a very good job.
If you enjoy quality music, this will def. make you smile.

I hate this CD. I have most of the other Chieftan CD's, and their collaboration with other artists has always worked in the past. This collection runs the gamut from mediocre to ludicrous. To paraphrase a line from Spinal Tap:"There's a fine line between clever and stupid." This one's over the line. "Tears of Stone" is my current fave.
