Free Music Notes for Red
Free Music Review: The Dubs can do better, but not by much.
Hit: 4 Stars
"Red" is, in my opinion, the third-best of the Dubs oeuvre. (And even then, "Breathe" only edges it out by a nose.) "Neverending," both versions, are moving and beautiful. The Waterboys's "Fisherman's Blues" is covered here with a jaunty tone; while it's very hard to screw up that song in the first place, the Dubs's more rock-flavored feel enhances it. (Traditionalists might do well by also looking for The Indulgers's excellent cover of the song, on their CD "Celtic Tiger;" in fact, everyone should go pick that up right this second.)
My only criticism is that I felt "Apart" and "One and Only" were oddly-paced, and the lyrics seemed a little to suggestive of a rhyming dictionary. Fortunately, others like the energetic "What Do You Want From Me," the powerful ballad "Don't You Worry," and the Celtic instrumental "Bodhran" more than make up for it.
Red Poster
Rock music has been hyphenated into increasingly narrower constituent pieces (folk-rock, punk-rock, ad nauseam) since the 1970s, which misses a crucial point--all the best rock has been a fusion of disparate elements. Simply labeling the Young Dubliners "Celtic rock," does them--and the listener--a disservice. In an irony suitable for the age, the Young Dubliners were formed in--where else?--Los Angeles by expatriate Irishman Keith Roberts and have built a sizable reputation on their energetic live shows. And though it kicks off with "Bodhran," a typically manic Irish reel, Red displays a musical sensibility that owes as much to Dave Matthews and the Wallflowers as it does to the Chieftains. The title track even features lyrics by band admirer and longtime Elton John collaborator Bernie Taupin. With mood and drama to burn, fused to an energetic, driving band sound, Red is an album as infectious as it is mature. --Jerry McCulleyAlternative Rock Music CDs
