Cut from the same cloth as bands like Great Big Sea, Black 47, and the Pogues, the Young Dubliners put some rock 'n' roll in their Irish ditties. Here on its sixth album, the L.A.-based band looks back to the old country, mostly reinterpreting some of the Emerald Isle's greatest songs. Pogues fans will recognize such classics as "If I Should Fail To Fall From The Grace Of God" and "Pair Of Brown Eyes," and there are two Dubliners songs too, but the rest are traditionals as well as one original and one song adapted from a Patrick Kavanagh poem. Likely best enjoyed in the company of friends, this album is prime fodder for night of drinking in the pub thanks to the sing along choruses and big crunchy guitar parts. It's a fair piece from the tradition, but this band manages to keep the communal aspect of Irish music intact, and that means this tribute hits just the right note. --Tad Hendrickson

Album Description

The hard-rockin' Irish band the Young Dubliners celebrate St. Paddy's day with all the gusto and charm only a bunch of good ole Irish lads can do (with a couple of American's to even out the pot). All the pub favorites with a few ballads thrown in for good measure. Why, it's what St. Patrick himself would be hummin' if he had the mind to...

Keep up the Tradition.......2007-06-08

The Dubs are going through the motions to cover well known Irish songs.

The Young Dubliners have covered some of these songs on thier previous albums. Earlier versions of Rocky Road to Dublin and Ashley Falls are far superior on "Rocky Road" as well as Follow Me Up to Carlow and Foggy Dew on "Breathe"

Take one listen to The Foggy Dew on "Breathe" and hear the passion. A great tribute to a great song. Luke Kelly would have been proud. I just don't hear any of that fire in this collection. Not to many groups can cover Pogues songs well and here is another example.

Great idea but it falls short.

Frenetic.......2007-06-08

This would be a great CD if you were trying to provide accompaniment at a ceili. It was too raucous for me. Good for a St. Pat's day Pub crowd.

Another great one from the Dubs!.......2007-05-28

Here is another great release from the Dubs! This is a collection of traditional Irish tunes with the Dubs spin on them. All the songs are performed well and provide a truly enjoyable listen. Whether you are a long time fan or just interested in trying out the Young Dubliners for the first time, I certainly recommend this one.

With All Due Respect, The Irish Sessions.......2007-04-12

Irish Punk Rock a la Pogues/Popes treatment of traditional Irish Rebel Tunes without the musicianship demonstrated by by Pogues/Popes. Overall interesting but by no means the best.

Absolutely Fantastic!.......2007-04-01

The Young Dubs are a great band and this is a great album! Buy it, you'll love it!With All Due Respect, The Irish Sessions
