Mick is still tops as proven in this compilation of true Irish songsFree Music Review: One of the best C.D. s ever!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I loved all the songs on this C.D. I especially liked "The Long Black Veil" and "The Foggy Dew". Sinead O'Conner's voice is just so beautiful in that particular song. I also really liked "The Rocky Road to Dublin".Free Music Review: One of the best CDs ever made.
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a great CD, every song is great, it's what got me to love the cheiftains. Filled with great music and singers, a must buy for anybody who likes music. The music played by the Chieftains sounds as though they didn't make one mistake in the whole CD, they have truely earned their title as the Kings of Irish Folk songs.Free Music Review: This one deserves SIX STARS
Hit: 5 Stars
The Chieftains here demonstrate that even a rock singer can do a really outstanding job of an old broadside ballad if given the chance, and the best group to ever back up a singer...Quite seriously, with the exception of the Van Morrison cut, which I personally have no use whatsoever for, this album is simply fantastic.
Marianne Faithful? Indeed! Sounding a bit different than she used to, perhaps, but with a song that just FIT her voice, oh so very well. Of course, I'm sure that neither she nor the mad irishmen thought of that in advance :-)
The title cut is a gem, but so are all the other cuts with the one exception I mentioned before. The tracks by Mark Knopfler and Sinead O'Conner are musically excellent,as one would require from those artists (especially when playing with the Chieftains). Sting's cut, singing Irish Gaelic, is a gem, sung by a gem.
Finally, well, this recording seems to be a set of tracks that are typecast, i.e. that the singers seem to understand instinctivly, and no more does this sound true that "Rocky Road to Dublin", which, with the Stones sitting in, sounds JUST like the band knew altogether too well what they were singing about. Hmm, could it be?
