Free Music Review: How Can You Go Wrong With a Lineup Like This?
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a wild, rollicking, fantastic blend of Celtic, Pop and American country music. I am forever amazed at the number of superstars clamoring to record with The Chieftains. Sting, Sinead O'Connor, The Rolling Stones, Van Morrison, Ry Cooder, and others all excel on this collaboration, but one of my favorite selections is "Changing Your Demeanour" sung by The Chieftains' own Kevin Conneff. His Irish tenor is a delight to listen to!"Rocky Road to Dublin", performed by The Chieftains and the Rolling Stones is a real hoot and a great way to close out the album! Check out the sudden launching into "Satisfaction" part way through the song!
The only weak spot I feel is "Tennessee Waltz", sung by Tom Jones. I have never been a fan of Jones and I feel his voice has deteriorated over the years. That is a minor quibble, however.
Buy this CD if you enjoy hearing wonderful collaborations!
Free Music Review: Absolutely fantastic
Hit: 5 Stars
I just received this CD from two house guests traveling through the US whom I met in Ireland last year. It brought back enchanting memories of nights at the town pub being swept away by the improptu gathering of musicians and traveling around the gorgeous green island full of the most friendly people I have met across the 7 seas of this world.Free Music Review: Famous Singers Compilation In Chieftan's Great Celtic Style
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a riveting a moving compilation of some of the most famous singers and musicians of the modern era: Sting, Mick Jagger, and many others. The Celtic feel to it is wonderful...sometimes making you want to just get up and dance a jig! Excellent work from the Chieftans. I consider it one of their best albums, by far. You won't be disappointed.Free Music Review: Four words: Sting Singing In Gaelic!
Hit: 5 Stars
God love Celtic music. There's no music as beautiful or as true on this planet. I love "Mo Ghile Mear (Our Hero)" with Sting! And as for Sinead O'Connor, I'm not familiar with much of her work, but Great Goddess, what a range! Even Marianne Faithfull's ravaged, cigarette-stained voice works with the Celtic arrangements. Slide-guitar master Ry Cooder sounds fantastic, and "The Rocky Road to Dublin" with the Stones & Chieftains together is pure magick! To summarize, buy this record. You will not be sorry.Free Music Review: Critics be deviled
Hit: 5 Stars
The musical literati have declared this record beneath the golden ears of true devotees of Celtic music. Fuhgedaboutit. The record is wildly entertaining, with Sting, Tom Jones and Sinead O'Connor having more fun than they'd had sonically in years prior to this. It's a swirling, enthusiastic blend of musicianship and passion. Turn off the Irish Tenors and dance!
