Free Music Review: Okay, but they're no Saw Doctors
Hit: 3 Stars
I bought this after falling in love with the song "Brown Dog" from Scooby-Doo and the Loch Ness Monster. My kids and I still love that song, and "ooh lah lah" made popular to me by Rod Stewart (their version is much better). The rest is average at best. I was hoping for something more after being blown away by the Saw Doctor's "Sing a Powerful Song", but this fell well short. Of course, this is a tough comparision, because I believe the SaPS is the best album ever -- but still, I expected a little more.
Absolutely Poster
Southern California's Young Dubliners may share a name with one of Ireland's most famous folk bands, but they draw their musical inspiration from Celtic rockers like U2, the Boomtown Rats, and Big Country. On Absolutely, the Young Dubs deliver a dozen songs that range from the guitar-driven anthem "Salvation" to the barroom bellow "Brown Dog" to the power ballad "These Days." While the band's chunky electric guitars and funky rhythms are rock & roll to the core, the fiddling of Chas Waltz gives the grooves a distinctly Celtic lilt, especially on the instrumental "Unreel" and the sweetly nostalgic cover of the Faces' "Ooh La La." The Young Dubliners are a very popular stage act--their fans crowd the front of the stage in "jig pits" rather than mosh pits--and even though they will never be mistaken for a traditional folk group, the music of the Young Dubs moves to the undeniable rhythm of a Celtic heartbeat. --Michael SimmonsInternational Music CDs
