Irish Rock at its best.......2007-06-08

This album has it all. It is a necessary piece in any CD collection.
Genius.

I'm a canny gun man.......2007-04-18

Some music returns to you in the most unusual ways. I first heard the Pogues in college in 1985 and played this record, yes record, on my radio show 91.3 FM WKNH. While grieving for the loss of my closest friend from those days, I began a journey of reminiscing of those days, which included listening to bands....The Pogues, Jesus and Mary Chain, Jellyfish, The Posies, Thin Lizzy, Mott the Hoople, and The Clash.... we so often listened to and talked about with such passion. So, now, Dirty Old Town is playing and Shane's tales of death, drink, and dispair
are as poignant as ever. Great music is great in any era. Its evident that these songs came from a man struggling, partying, living, and dying in the moment. Great artists are like that. They feel something visceral and are able to capture it in some form. BUY THIS MUSIC.

Shane McGowan is a Genius.......2007-01-23

I love this album. Must have listened to it a thousand times. I can't get enough of Shane McGowan's voice - rough and masculine and filled with a dogged Irish faith in the face of self-inflicted Irish despair. The female voice on "I'm a Man You Don't Meet Every Day" is hauntingly beautiful. God gave that particular ineffable quality only to the Daughters of Houlihan. If you like Irish music, you need this album. It's certainly been a big part of the soundtrack of my life since it came out over 20 years ago.

Album Description

This is the second album from the Los Angeles based octet, Flogging Molly. Taking influence from their Irish roots and the sound of the Californian punk scene, 'Drunken Lullabies'is a mix of brash punk rock guitars, violins, whistles and accordians. The band are often compared to the Pogues and fellow punk band, The Dropkick Murphys.

Customer Reviews:

The Best Damn Pogues Cover Band Ever!.......2007-07-28

When the Pogues broke up (Shane left) I grew so depressed, because there was nobody out there that came close to capturing that powerful Irish sound. Then came Flogging Molly and happiness returned. This band rocks! They are a little more on the rock side than the folk side, is comparison to the Pogues. Please take no offense to the title review for this CD, just to be compared to the Pogues means greatness in my book.

My Favorite CD.......2007-06-17

This is Flogging Molly at their absolute best. Every track is great. What else is there to say. Great music by a great band. I never get tired of this recording.

Dave King from Fastway on vocals!!!!.......2007-04-03

I did a search on Fastway to see what Dave King (ex vocalist from the blues metal band Fastway...from the '80's) was up to these days and ran across a comment that he was singing for a band called Flogging Molly. I heard some sample clips and honestly I don't think , from what I heard anway, that he sounds anything like he did on the Fastway albums. That's not a good or bad thing...just my observation. I'll listen to a few more, but I'd like to hear him wail on a song or two to compare his voice to that from the '80's. Don't get me wrong, this stuff will keep your feet movin'. I enjoyed what I have heard. I just need to listen to some more tracks. I mainly wrote this review to inform any Fastway fans out there who may be wondering whatever became of good ole Dave. I'm glad he has found solice in something he obviously enjoys doing. Keep on keepin' on!

My first Celtic Rock CD.......2006-12-07

I heard the title track from this CD back in Fall of 2004, and instantly became a Celtic Rock fan. I began a quest to find as much comparable and similar music as I could. I will say that this is about where I draw the line in terms of how much "punk" style I can deal with in my Celtic Rock. The vocals are a little harsh sounding, but the music is lively and enjoyable enough to make up for it. For me it was a good place to start. If you like Irish-style music and can deal with a little hard rock, you will like this.

If its Flogging Molly, Its good.......2006-11-10

My favorite album is Swagger but this one is great too. You can't go wrong with any Flogging Molly.

Early Obituary: Shane MacGowan, Celtic Shaman.......2007-07-13

I am writing this review in the form of an early obituary for Pogues frontman and main songwriter Shane MacGowan, since he is one of those people everyone expects to hear is dead any day now. Shane was one of those rare souls who followed what I call the Shaman's Path, one that was trod before him by Arthur Rimbaud, Aleister Crowley, and Jim Morrison, among others. The Shaman's Path leads first to brilliant actualization of the self but finally to misery, madness, and frequently early death.

The album "If I Should Fall From Grace With God" is the Pogues' most fully realized work with MacGowan, and most of the tracks are classic pieces of Irish folk fusion. Stand-outs are the title track, a fatalistic lyric on mortal and spiritual peril laid over a rollicking rhythm and accordion arrangement; and "Fairy Tale of New York", a kind of vulgar, piano-driven Christmas carol about failed expectations in the New World, on which MacGowan duets with Kirsty MacColl.

But nothing on this album changes the fact that the Pogues' legacy, like the Doors' before them, was built on their singer's slow suicide by drink as he followed the Shaman's Path to its ultimate destination in an untimely grave.

Rest in peace, Shane, and I doubt you ever fell from grace.

pogues kick ass.......2007-04-12

Still their best album.
Good bonus tracks!
These guys rock harder at age 50 than I've ever rocked in my life.

Hot Stuff Either Way You Slice It!.......2007-03-14

The Pogues "If I Should Fall From Grace with God" is a masterpiece of its kind. Can not go wrong with this one. I feel a little sad that this band could not stand the test of time but I do realize that true genius is unpredictable at best and you can tell that the lead vocals is one of the type of genius that anything can happen. This is a tight band with that special flavor that comes from their side of he world. No weakness here, when these guides get going all hell breaks loose and I am looking to get drunk and buy a pack of Marlboro Reds and maybe take away the filters, that's how rowdy the s..t gets. A true pleasure to own. Ownership satisfaction do not get any better than this, can get to be the same but not better. This album stays in my world till I kick, and everytime I throw a party it definitely enters the rotation but right around the time when the party has heated up. This is no lukewarm affair and should not be considered as such. Get the Babes happy and drunk, get the dudes saturated with some high quality tap beer or whatever, really, and let loose the whole album. Stick with friends when playing the Pogues at least this way the fighting that might ensue will be in good cheer and later friendly hugs! 5 stars for the Pogues "If I Should Fall From Grace With God" What a Title, What a Record! Stay down with your bad selves, Pogues!!! Go Go Go!

In the all-time top twenty 'rock' albums.......2007-01-30

When they first appeared, people referred to the Pogues as an 'Irish punk' outfit. Since then, I've heard them recategorized half a dozen times, but nomenclature aside, there's no disputing what the Pogues brought to music in the eighties and nineties.

Few artists communicate as effectively as Shane MacGowan, few voices in music are as immediately recognizeable as his. His lyrical gifts outpace even our most prolific songwriters. When MacGowan writes for himself, he ultimately writes for all of us.

I'm not one of those hyphenated Americans that need go back eight generations for an identity, but when I hear this music, it awakens something inside of me, something I suspect not even Ellis island can erase.

I've Fallen, And I Can't Get Up!.......2007-01-20

The world is better place since "If I should Fall from the Grace With God" has been re-mastered and re-issued -- this is the Pogues at their roarin' best! In fact, with this re-issue you won't care if you've fallen and can't get back up-- you'll be havin' too much fun listenin' to this classic disc that has been out of circulation and missing too long on the out print lists. Fall out with this one for best of class good sounds!

Johnny Depp and director Gore Verbinski hatched the idea for Rogue's Gallery while filming "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest"--that idea being to cast genteel rock superstars like Bono, Lou Reed, Bryan Ferry, Andre Corr, and Sting to reinterpret gritty seafaring standards for an exhaustive 43-track double-disc set produced by Hal Wilner. Throw in a bunch of credible folk stars (Loudon Wainwright III, Richard Thompson), their offspring (Rufus, Teddy) and a string of other curious characters (Jarvis Cocker, Antony) and what results is one of the strangest compilations in recent memory, if not exactly the most historically authentic or, well, digestible. Nick Cave embraces the role just a little too hard on "Fire Down Below," while Ferry can't help but sound like he's singing for the cast of "The Love Boat," but cut through the chaff and there is some real bootie here: Bono's "Dying Sailor to His Shipmates," Jolie Holland's "The Grey Funnel Line" and "Boney" by a mysterious tramp called Jack Sh**, which must be some kind of anagram for Johnny Depp. --Aidin Vaziri

Album Description

While working on the two "Pirates Of The Carribean" films, Johnny Depp and director Gore Verbinski became fascinated with the lore and fable of the pirates and sailors who ran the high seas. Enter legendary producer Hal Wilner, who brings his knack for matching maverick musicians with extraordinary material. Artists on this double disc set include Bono, Sting, Nick Cave, Bryan Ferry, Lou Reed, Richard Thompson, Lucinda Williams, Jarvis Cocker of Pulp, and many more. "Rogue's Gallery" offers a look at the hardships, the horrors, the lusts and lurid depths, and the crystal beauty that led men to the sea in ships for hundreds of years.

Customer Reviews:

Fun--but not great.......2007-07-03

What a concept--a pirate song co-produced by Verbinski and Depp inspired by the "Pirates of the Carribean" series. It should be great and in places, it is. The big question I came away with is--who is Jack Sh**? That one definitely has me guessing.

I won't belabor the song content or the production value. I think the most notable reviews have got that down pat, although I'm not marking down as far as they have because I'm giving points for originality being a fan of Spike Jones and some other truly demented people.

One thing to note: this is not a CD you'd buy if you were looking for something to amuse your kids. Some of the content is very bawdy and Mom and Dad would have some serious 'splaining to do to the little pirates. There's both some language and some situations that are more twisted than a Hangman's knot.

aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhh!.......2007-06-09

Some of the songs are quite good(mellow)others a little odd. Its what I expected, but not what you would expect.

Disappointment would be an understatement.......2007-06-04

It is not unusual to find sea shanties performed by not the greatest musicians or singers in the world. It is not unusual to find shanties sung by people who have difficulty keeping perfect pitch, or tempo. But at least they understand what the music is about, and sing it with heart and enthusiasm and a love for the genre.

Hal Wilner should stick to whatever genre it is that made him know enough to be approached by labels, because he clearly has no understanding, and less enthusiasm for *this* genre.

If you love lively music from the maritime era, you can only be bitterly disappointed by this collection. Out of 43 tracks, I found 15 that were salvageable. Sort of.

I've already tossed this onto the pile to go to the resale shop. It wasn't worthy the cost of shipping.

Zzz..........2007-04-04

I have to admit that I have no idea what kinds of music the pirates sang aboard their ships. I know it probably wasn't "yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me," but I expected something different than this. I think my expectations have been colored by groups like The Pogues, Flogging Molly, The Tossers, and the Real McKenzies. I have an annual Pirate Party and I was hoping to find some good music here to get people in the mood for a treasure hunt or pirate liar's dice, but instead, the music on this CD is something I'd put on if the party went on too long and I wanted to encourage people to leave. Some of it is actually awful and the rest is too slow and plodding to inject much energy into any situation.

I appreciate what was attempted here (contemporary artists paying homage to sea chanteys in the spirit of our romanticized version of the pirate era) but it just doesn't really work. The effect is similar to what would be achieved if the London Philharmonic Orchestra attempted to play rap "music" with Luciano Pavarotti rhymin' while flashing gang signs.

another set of hopes are smashed.......2007-03-29

the selection of titles attracted me. The quality of the arrangements, the voices, and the music---are all quite bad.

It is VERY sad that these same titles, could not have been produced for quality. They sound like a nightmare.

Based on Irish folk dancing styles, Riverdance was originally devised as a 20-minute intermission entertainment for the Eurovision Song Contest. There, its phenomenal reception inspired composer Bill Whelan to expand the piece into a full-length stage show, still centered around Irish music, but now telling a loose story of many different peoples who in the 20th century have found themselves émigrés. The paradoxically formal yet expressive, sensual, and exhilarating energy of traditional Irish dance and Irish folk music is only the beginning. A work full of strong melodies, excitement, romantic dreams, and nostalgic longing, the full Riverdance show is a spellbinding spectacle. Complete with orchestra, Whelan brings influences from Irish classical music, incorporates the haunting sound of vocal group Anuna, and adds the diverse folk sounds of Nova Scotia, Macedonia, Russia, and Andalucia to his rich cultural melting pot. Playing on the album are some of the finest folk musicians around, including piper Davy Spillane and Eileen Ivers on fiddle. The result is not just a tuneful souvenir of a great stage show, but a most enjoyable release in its own right. Whelan also has worked on the Rob Roy soundtrack and composed The Seville Suite and The Spirit of Mayo. --Gary S. Dalkin

A MUST HAVE FOR ALL IRISH!.......2007-04-04

THIS IS A MUST HAVE CD FOR ALL TRUE IRISH BLOODED PEOPLE OUT THERE. THIS IS THE BEST CD YET RIVERDANCE HAS MADE.

Outstanding!!!.......2006-10-14

I have every Riverdance DVD and have watched the live show once. This CD is based on the original production (With Michael Flatley and Jean Butler) and while it might not carry the "excitement" of the original show as others have commented, it is a great way to remember the beautiful music and orchestration when you are not close to a DVD player to enjoy the video production. The unfortunate thing in listening to the "soundtrack" of a live/video production is that separated from its visual context, it can be difficult to understand or appreciate. Riverdance is a visual as well as a sound experience. If you have never watched the show, it would certainly be hard to appreciate the music in this CD. I listen to it frequently and love the music more each time. If you are a Riverdance fan, this CD is a must. It's simply superb.

Disappointment after seeing the show.......2006-03-06

I recently saw the show live & was excited to get the soundtrack. However, as many other reviewers have noted, it was a big disappointment - it doesn't match the charisma of the show. While it does have some great songs on it, you just don't get the feeling you got while actually watching the show, which was a tremendous feeling of excitement & thrill. I must add, I did pick up the 'Lord of Dance' soundtrack & was happily impressed.

Disappointed.......2005-09-29

Not the type of music I had envisioned...much slower than I was hoping for.

Can't get enough of Riverdance!.......2005-07-30

First off, I'm 16 years old. I love music, just about every kind there is. I never cared for Riverdance before until last year when I listened to a song from "Lord of the Dance" completely by accident and then went from there. Now, I completely appreciate it, and I believe it's the best stuff I've ever listened to, and I don't regret it all. It's very refreshing, and it just calms you down, and I swear, some of the songs on here sends shivers down my spine even after listening to it for a good year now. While I don't like every song on the CD like I do with "Lord of the Dance" I still think the music is special and unique in its own way. The music from "Lord of the Dance" is more...alive, but "Riverdance" is good for relieving stress, meditating, or for filling you up with so much emotion it could make you cry. Honestly, it's all great.

If you're not convinced yet, then here's a breakdown by song!
REEL AROUND THE SONG: As one person has already said: PERFECT! This is probably the best on the CD. It's starts a little slow with the flute(but then, you learn to love it, the more you listen to it) and then as it progresses, it gets better and better, and then, even better. So it's perfect in every way. But then, considering the song is almost nine minutes long, it better be good.
THE HEART'S CRY: This is a vocal. Nice song, beautiful lyrics, a voice I could tolerate, and I'm just starting to appreciate vocals.
COUNTESS CATHLEEN/WOMEN OF THE SIDHE: Another personal favorite that's almost perfect. The first is very light and pretty, but I love the second half! Very lively and I actually dance to it.
CAOINEADH CU CHULAINN/LAMENT: This is one of the songs that fills you up with emotion and shivers down your spine. It's a very sad (well, the song's called "Lament"), emotional song, and I still listen to it with fresh ears, and probably always will.
SHIVNA: This is another vocal. The only problem with it, is that it's in another language (I'm guessing Gaelic) so I don't know what the heck they're saying, but that doesn't stop me from loving it. Ironically, it's my favorite vocal on here.
FIREDANCE: A mix of Celtic and Spanish music and the results are pretty good. The end of the song is really the only good part of the song though. The beginning's too slow for me.
SLIP INTO SPRING: Very light and incredibly sweet and one of my favorites.
RIVERDANCE: Another favorite (you're probably getting tired of me saying that),it's true. The lyrics are good, the music's beyond great. You really outdid yourself, Whelan.
AMERICAN WAKE: This song falls in the middle. Starts off a wee bit repetitive, but gets better as it progresses.
LIFT THE WINGS: A vocal. Well, the music in the beginning was great. But I just can't get into the song. I think it's the voice that drives me away. Good lyrics though.
MACEDONIAN MORNING: Blah. That's the only word I can use to describe this song. This song can't move me at all. It doesn't go anywhere, it's tiring and dull and flat, and it wouldn't harm the CD if they took this song out.
MARTA'S DANCE/THE RUSSIAN DERVISH: Another (you guessed it!) favorite. It's a mix of Celtic and Russian music, and yes it is a little too repetitive and long, but it's still good and the last two minutes of the song is my favorite part.
ANDALUCIA: I enjoy this song from time to time, it's good, just not as memorable as the other songs.
HOME AND THE HEARTLAND: This song's altogether cute. The lyrics and the music are cute, and the voice that sings it is so tender and beautiful. My second favorite vocal.
HARVEST: Lovely song, falls in the middle and there's some parts that I especially love.
RIVERDANCE (REPRISE): Uh,good, but I'll stick with original.

I don't regret buying this CD at all and I'm sure you'll love this as much as I do. There will be at least one song on here you'll like if not all. If you love emotion and beauty, and you're passionate about music, then you'll love this.

Not as good as other flogging molly albums, but has some gems.......2006-12-15

This was the last of the Flogging Molly albums that I listened to, although it is their first. You can kind of tell, as Dave King's vocals aren't always as good as the other two albums. However, thats no damper on what is still a great album by one of the most unique bands ever.
Track by track:
1. Salty Dog - 9/10 - A good catchy opening song with some great lyrics, has a nice pirate feel to it, I love the fiddle in this song.
2. Selfish Man - 8.5/10 - Again, I like the fiddle, espeically the opening. Its not as good as the first song, but nothing that bad about it, this is a well made song, good lyrics, instrumentation.
3. The Worst Day Since Yesterday - 2/10 - To be honest, this one put me straight to sleep, it gets so boring and repetitive, and its a really bad ballad, if you want a good ballad, listen to Wistles the Wind on the other album, or, go a little farther down here, and listen to These Exiled Years. This was a good effort I suppose, but really, pretty boring.
4. Every Dog Has its Day - 8.5/10 - A lot like Selfish Man, in the sense that the fiddle is cool, and the lyrics are well written. Again, its about pirates, but its not really as "piratey" as Salty Dog, I guess cause he doesn't go with the accent on this one. STill, a good song.
5. Life in a Tenement Square - 9/10 - I really like this song, its a bid sad, but the flute is very good here, it gives it a different vibe than the previous songs.
6. The Ol Beggars Bush - 10/10 - One of my favorites on this CD, the tune is incredibly catchy, the flute is AWESOME, the lyrics are very good too. I can never get the opening out of my head, very nice flute entrance.
7. The Likes of You Again - 8.5/10 - Good violin fast pacedness, the opening is slow and emotional, then transfers into the fast part, I don't think the fast part is as good as some of the other songs here (Slaty Dog, Selfish Man, Every Dog), but its not bad, the violin there is very catchy once again.
8. Black Friday Rule - 9.5/10 - The full tale of Flogging Molly, their signature solo/live song. I don't give this a 10 because I like the live version on Whiskey album better, but this is a very good song, tells about how King came to "Californ-e-i-a". Very good solos.
9. Grace of God do I - 7/10 - I admit, Dave King's voice is good, but I always find myself skipping this song. His vocals do shine, but this song has no instrumentation, just a vocal solo, and the reason I love Flogging Molly is because of the instruments, therefore, I don't like this song too much.
10. Devil's Dance Floor - 10/10 - My favorite on the CD, amazing song, truly, still, I think its my favorite Flogging Molly Song (ok, maybe a toss up between this one and Seven Deadly Sins), but really, this song is amazing. Great vocals, great lyrics, great flute, it just makes you want to get up and dance, even if like me, you suck at dancing. Wonderful song!
11. These Exiled Years - 8.5/10 - This is a ballad, and I think it works wonders comapred to Worst Day. This keeps you hooked, to the emotional lyrics as Dave tells about his mom and being exiled from his country, it may drag a bit, but the overall instrumentation is good, and the lyrics are wonderful.
12. Sentimental Johnny - 6/10 - Ok, so this is the weirdo of the bunch. You've got your trumpet solo, which made a little entrance last song near the end. However, this is almost way too circusy and stupid for Flogging Molly. I admit, the trumpet's got some skill, but the song itself is mediocre at best.
13. Far Awar Boys - 4/10 - This one I didn't like too much either, again, its a ballad, and it drags a bit too much for me. Kind of a boring let down to the album, but whatever.

Overall, it has its flaws, but also its gems. THe album itself is worth it simply for Devil's Dance Floor alone. However, you'll have a blast listening to the upbeat songs in the beginning, and especially Black Friday rule and Beggar's Bush. Just avoid most of the ballads, and you'll love this album.

Discovering Flogging Molly is better than falling in love........2006-06-20

I have long been a big fan of traditional Celtic music and never thought I would find myself liking music that is often classified as Punk. I got turned onto Flogging Molly accidentally on the internet and was instantly addicted to the driving beat mixed with awsome lyrics and more than one surprise per song. I immediatly bought this album and have never regreted it.

I shall never lend this CD to anyone!!! but you really should buy one for yourself.

Flogging Molly a great live band? Indeed, However I liked it better when it was called The Pogues........2005-12-09

Ahh!!, the genre of Celtic punk has really now just become a real cash cow comodity, thanks to bands like Flogging Molly, The Tossers, and to a lesser extent Dropkick Murphy's. First off Irish music is something that I hold sacred to my heart, I'm third-generation Irish-American, so bands like The Dubliners, The Chieftains, and the Clancy Brothers, are the godfathers of the genre. However, when I first heard the Pogues, I was completely blown away, it sounded like The Sex Pistols setting fire to The Chieftains, sure Irish tradition music had been around for a long time, but when the Pogues got a hold of it their sound was really pioneering. "Red Roses For Me," "Rum, Sodomy and the Lash," "If I Should Fall From Grace With God," I'll even throw in "Peace and Love," still to this day rule my life. Which brings me to the question, who is the best band in the genre of Irish punk, after the Pogues. Well, none of the new bands have the fire, energy, and spirit of the Pogues, but Flogging Molly is pretty close, with The Tossers coming in at a close second, every other bands needs to get their own thing and stop looking up to granndad.
However, people in America, seem to think Flogging Molly is an original act and I'm always asked the question "Who are The Pogues?" Let me put your minds at ease with some of the differences between the two.
First, Flogging Molly may be a great live band, but so were the Pogues. When Shane MacGowan was up for it, they were truly a force to be reckon with.
Second, Dave King is no Shane MacGowan. Sure, Dave King writes some great lyrics, but Shane is a poet, his lyrics seems to flow through him, words cannot do him justice alone; he is a modern Irish storyteller.
Third, The Pogues were blessed with other great musicians, like Terry Woods, Philip Chevron, Spider Stacy (a.k.a. "The best tin whistle player ever,) and Jem Finer. Chevron wrote the epic song "Thousands Are Sailing," while Terry Woods wrote great songs like "Young Ned of the Hill," and Jem Finer, cowrote "Fairytale of New York," and wrote a lot of great Pogues instrumentals and other songs as well. Dave King seems to be the only gifted writer in the Flogging Molly.
Finally, even though MacGowan did'nt agree with this, the Pogues stretched their boundaries musically, especially on "Hell's Ditch," where Flogging Molly's songs all sound the same, and two of their songs "Sentimental Johnny," and "Big Bag of Bricks," totally rip off The Pogues.
It may sound like I'm slagging Flogging Molly, but I do love "Swagger," and "Drunken Lullabies," their both great albums, but they just can't hold a candle to any of The Pogues albums. As far as the music is concerned, I'll take "A Pair of Brown Eyes," over any Flogging Molly album any day.

THE FIRST FROM THE FLOG!.......2005-11-08

I can't rave about this peice more than DRUNKEN LULLABYS, but this one stilll has a sh*t load of balls and will definatley get your pints raised high!
My personal favorites would have to be DEVILS DANCE FLOOR and BLACK FRIDAY RULE. Those two songs alone are SO F'IN GREAT that just thinking about them send shivers down my spine.
If I wasn't at work right now, I think I would be on my way to the packy to buy a Guiness and then go listen to these songs VERY FRIGIN LOUD!

good stuff.......2005-11-03

my friend got me into flogging molly and now they are pretty much my favorite band. this entire album is great except for "Grace Of God Go I" which is somewhat boring. i would definately reccomend this, and the others, to anyone

Part showtunes, part classical, and part folk music, Ronan Hardiman's score to Lord of the Dance, the musical starring dancer Michael Flatley, successfully avoids all the inherent pitfalls of such an enterprise. Hardiman has emerged as Ireland's finest interpreter of traditional music for films, TV, and the theater, and under his guidance the 19 lush orchestral tunes, augmented with many traditional instruments, are rife with the spirit of the Emerald Isle. Two of the tracks feature the taps of Flatley and Co, while the rest highlight the score as composed by Hardiman with all its subtle textures intact and not masked by the live sound of tap dancing. Lord of the Dance is a perfect and very listenable fusion of Broadway and the indigenous heritage of Irish music making. --Derek Rath

Incredible!.......2006-12-09

If you liked Riverdance, you'll love this. After listening to the free samples on this site, I badgered my mum into buying the CD. From the minute I put it on my walkman, I loved it. The way the composer mixes traditional instruments like fiddles with modern instruments like Saxophones and Keyboards is amazing. This gives the music a thicker feel, pushing it way above Riverdance. Whether you have Celtic blood or not you will love it!
Tracks 16 and 17 are especially brilliant with the fast tapping of Michael Flately's feet along with the rest of the Troop. I really want to see the show now!
Buy it or miss out on some of the best music around.

Awesome.......2006-10-28

I love Riverdance. I would give this cd a 10 if there was a 10 to rate it. Go IRISH!

THIS should've been LOTR's soundtrack.......2006-06-15

While Howard Shore's soundtrack for "Lord of the Rings" got him an Oscar,Ronan Hardiman SHOULD'VE composed the epic trilogy's music.Ronan Hardiman has an instinctive sense of rhythm&motion for his music.This music is PERFECT for Michael Flatley's dancing feet--or the hobbits' shaggy ones.

"Cry of the Celts" is a perfect epic opening.It's primal,beautiful.Shouldn't it have been the background for the opening sequence when Galadriel speaks of the forging of the One Ring?

"Warriors" is wonderfully ominous.It would've been a memorable theme for orcs&uruk-hai.And of course,Sauron.

"Gypsy" is sexy.It could've fit the scenes between Aragorn&Arwen,or Frodo&Galadriel.It's Celtic spice.

"Fiery Nights" shows that yes,saxophones can be great in Celtic music.Would've been great,and sensual,for the Mirror of Galadriel scene as well as Frodo's vision of Galadriel in Mordor.

"Lament" is elegaic.

"Siamsa" is celebratory music.Would've fit ANY of the happy endings at the end of "Return of the King." Why not Sam&Rose's wedding?

"Stolen Kiss","Nightmare"&"Victory" would have fit the finale.

Ronan Hardiman KNOWS Celtic music deeply in his artistry.He had experience with soundtracks before doing this score.He's capable of conveying epic themes.This is a must-listen-to album!

Celtic Crazy!.......2006-04-19

I have just about worn out this cd listening to it. When I got to see Lord of the Dance in person, I really had not had any sort of appreciation for celtic music. That performance and this cd changed all of that for me. The music is majestic and stirs emotion that spans all feelings. The music tells the story and each time I listen to it I can actually see the performers dancing that piece. Having a bad day? Just listen to this cd. The world will suddenly be a better place!

better soundtrack than riverdance.......2006-03-06

I saw 'riverdance' & while i thoroughly enjoyed the show, I agree with the other reviews that the soundtrack was lacking so I took the advice & picked up 'Lord of Dance' soundtrack (without having seen the show) & WOW - fabulous! Definately, upbeat & what you want to hear. There is also some nice songs with a jazz feel to them. Great CD from beginning to end - a real feel good cd.

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...

Customer Reviews:

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

Sound as if I am in church........2007-06-07

Though my title says chicano_punk, I have an apreciation for music also. I have a church choir, and I wish they would just sound like the voices ensembled in this album. I usually listen to this cd when I am doing my college work or I need to meditate, it is very relaxing. The vocals in this album are wonderful, and I have to say that it sounds good. I usually dislike songs that are ensembled with instruments, and choir voices, but this cd surely proved me wrong. As my comment said, it sets the ambience as if I am in church though, when I am listening to this cd. You should here the previews on this cd, and hear the voices that I am talking about. This is a great celtic album, and if you want something that is mind relieving, then you should listen to this cd.

And drag down the overall score as well! This CD is beautiful by the way and deserves a full five stars. I am purchasing it again as a gift.

This is my absolute fav. celtic CD. I have had to buy it three times cause everyone loves it so much it keeps "turning up missing"

Beautiful; peaceful; classic Celtic.......2006-11-28

This was one of the cd's I put with the cd player we gave my mother when she started getting suddenly really sick with cancer, and she played it a lot. I hope, and think it must have had to take her mind off for a while at least. My other 4 sisters and I do some traditional songs, and we sang "Rosa Mystica" (which we first heard on this CD), voices-only, at her funeral Mass -- she had a very close relationship with Mary and the Rosary and there couldn't have been a more fitting song. This is a great traditional Celtic album; haunting but so beautiful. Doesn't sound at all like your typical church music but is very spiritual and would actually work well for meditation of any kind, as well as just being a very beautiful album.

In the short time since they grouped together a few years ago to form their sensationally successful trio, the Irish Tenors have already put out an impressive array of recordings and DVDs, including some bona fide gooseflesh-inducing live concert performances. So, if you still have the enviable pleasure of discovering these amazing vocalists--or want to turn a friend on to their musical charms--this compilation CD will do the trick nicely. It brings together such classics as "Danny Boy," "Toora Loora Looral," "Last Rose of Summer," and "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" (featuring John McDermott)--all rendered with the kind of passionate, heartfelt, and harmonious crooning that is their signature style, whether they're singing as an ensemble or as highlighted soloists. And even if you have the complete Irish Tenors, this anthology includes several numbers not found on their previously released CDs. Hard to think of a sweeter treat for a fan of singing too good to ever go out of fashion. --Sarah Chin

Customer Reviews:

Irish at it's best........2007-05-07

This album is really the number two album from this trio. It is very good and well worth the investment. The five star album by The Irish Tenors would have to be Heritage. Both albums rate high in my book.

Irish Magic.......2006-08-21

This is my first CD of the Irish Tenors. And what a joy! I played it as soon as it arrived. I like the blend of their voices,the passion and enthusiasm they bring to this CD. What I find is a real treat is the words to all the songs are in the booklet.I love this CD.

Just got your Kleenex.......2005-12-25

I suggest a box of Kleenex for each person in the room when you play this CD or VHS recording. Mom won't let me play it anymore because she...well, you know what I mean.

When it's cold and frightful here, I play The BOYZ!

So wonderful. So much fun.

Up here in backwash Maine, there ain't much, believe me. But these guys are great. Sincere, care about what they're doing, true artists.

Ah, to go to Ireland again. Well, not unless the price of natural gas recedes!

The Very Best of the Irish Tenors is just that!.......2005-01-22

This recording is wonderful. Ronan's "last Rose of summer" is unique, the Percy French medley shows all three in great voice, Finbar's Maggie is wonderful and the laurels have to go to Anthony for his magnificent rendition of "She moved through the fair", wow!!!!

Well worth buying.
