Free Music Review: Something For Everyone -- Great Party CD!
Hit: 5 Stars
I enjoy seasonal music. I love the fact that Music Choice on my cable system has a 'Seasonal Music' channel, because I think that music written for a specific time of year can help people to enjoy the holiday more.
Of course, when you're thinking about enjoying St. Patrick's Day more, people usually think about drinking a lot of green beer. And if you're one of those people, this is the CD compilation for you.
This CD has a lot more contemporary artists than the last Irish CD I reviewed: The Dropkick Murphys and The Pogues stand out in particular. The Clancy Brothers and The Dubliners are also welcome additions to the CD.
There are still the old standbys - Frank Patterson sings the requisite "Danny Boy," The Dubliners contribute the title track "Whiskey In The Jar," and The Clancy Brothers offer up their rendition of the classic "Irish Rover." The Dropkick Murphys' take on "Wild Rover" was a high point for me, as was their "Fields of Athenry" - but then again, I'm a Dropkick Murphys fan anyway.
The songs on this compilation are fun, and singable (even if you can't sing - hey, who cares when you're drunk, right?). In two CDs, the only real disappointments were the two songs from The Pogues, whose live versions of "Dirty Old Town" and "Sally MacLennane" sound as if they were performed while the vocalist was plastered. That fits the theme of the compilation, but makes it tough to listen to. Listen to those two tracks later on in the evening and you'll be fine.
Of the two St. Patrick's Day offerings I was able to review this year, I'd say this one is my favorite. The music is more modern, and the performances more diverse. Plus you get two CDs, so you can listen longer. Enjoy, and Erin Go Bragh!
