The Chieftains [Original recording remastered]

Amazon.com
In the world of traditional Irish music, the Chieftains have done more than any other group to widen the genre's popularity. This, their debut, released a mere two years after their 1963 inception, reflects only a taste of what was to come. It's straightahead folk music; the selections consist of stalwartly traditional reels, jigs, and airs, all of which illuminate the debt that American folk traditions owed to old-school Irish and Celtic folk forms. Fairly restrained in its energy, these songs float by without the confidence of the Chieftains' later work, revealing the music's position in the tentative vanguard of the Celtic folk revivals of the later 1960s. Along with the group's three subsequent releases, this debut is also available as part of the slim but stellar From the Beginning box set. --Genevieve Williams

The tracks on The Best of the Chieftains are drawn from The Chieftains 7, The Chieftains 8, and Boil the Breakfast Early--three of the band's recordings from the late 1970s. This was the period when former Bothy Band and Planxty flautist Matt Molloy and vocalist/bodhran player Kevin Cunniffe joined up and finally fulfilled Paddy Maloney's vision of what the band should sound like. It also marks the last time the Chieftains recorded pure, unadulterated traditional Irish music. Not long after making these albums, the band set off on a new career that has included numerous movie and TV soundtracks, collaborations with pop stars of various stripes, and guest appearances with symphony orchestras. Although some purists decry the band's later attempts at crossover, the near perfection of tracks such as the exquisitely performed suite of dance tunes "Chase Around the Windmill" show that the Chieftains had taken the old tunes about as far as they could go. The group may have gone on to make better-selling records, but they never topped the traditional grace and charm of the songs on The Best of the Chieftains. --Michael Simmons

Irish Music.......2007-05-14

If you are going to have an Irish party, this is the best music to have. The music is varied, jigs, reels and knee slapping songs that liven up any event and get you dancing.

Love this CD!.......2006-02-08

I love the Chieftains and I love this CD. I love it so much, I using a great many of the songs for the Prelude for my wedding.

A blast from the past.......2004-04-06

The title of this album is rather deceptive: it's not a selection from the Chieftains' entire catalog of recordings, but instead from the 3 albums (7, 8, and 9) that they put out on the Columbia label in the late 70's. That said, it's a worthy addition to anyone's Irish music library: it showcases the band at the pivotal point when they underwent major personnel changes and began to expand into less traditional ventures such as film scores. I've owned the three albums in question for years (and bought this one because the old vinyl was wearing out); this selection includes most of my favorite tracks from those albums, and shows what a solid, spirited, high-quality band they were from the start. (But it's instructive to compare the flute solos in the "Chase Around the Windmill" set with those from the earlier albums: with all due respect to Michael Tubridey, I feel that the addition of Matt Molloy, with his thoughtful and beautifully phrased flute playing, gave the group much more depth.)

The best of the early Chieftains.......2003-11-27

The retro style of Paddy Moloney's hair on the cover of this disc is a good metaphor for this CD, a remastered 1970s recording incorporating the best tracks from three of the Chieftains' early LPs. As far as traditional Irish music goes, it's not the purest of the pure, but it shows how this group gave a new twist to their country's music before venturing into the equally exciting realm of television and film music. If you're a fan of the Chieftains' later work, you'll definitely love this CD -- it's not really all that different, just less programmatic and commercialized.

There are some really incredible tracks here, like "O'Sullivan's March", an old 18th-century military tune arranged for the entire band -- the flutes in the middle section preserve the wonderful old fife-like quality of the original song. "Sea Image" and "Speic Seoigheach", composed by Paddy Moloney himself, point toward the group's later development as a band blending a traditional feel into their own original compositions. And the rest of the tracks show exactly why these marvelous Irishmen were nominated for a Grammy over twenty years ago.

Five stars easily!

It doesn't get any better than this.......2003-01-26

This anthology is incredible. Irish traditional music just doesn't get any better than this! The selections are timeless, the orchestration is always perfect. Paddy Maloney's pipes and whistles really drive the music and the late great Derek Bell's brilliant Celtic harp playing is top-notch! Anyone who enjoys Irish traditional music should own this collection...preferably on CD!

More than 40 years on, the Chieftains are still the world's nonpareil Irish acoustic instrumental outfit. While celebrated for the international dissemination of their national mother lode they have actually promoted music from all six Celtic Nations; beginning with Ireland (Eire) but also honoring ancient folkways from Scotland (Alba), the Isle of Mann (Ellan Vannin), Brittany (Breizh), Wales (Cymru), and Cornwall (Kernow.) Furthermore, they have sought out musicians from other Celtic enclaves, such as Galicia (Northern Spain,) Cape Breton Island (Nova Scotia -- one of North America's few Gaelic-speaking regions) and the Southern U.S., where haunting modal tunes imported by mountain-dwelling Scots-Irish immigrants provided the essence of old-timey country and bluegrass music. There have also been pop-star collaborations and a myriad of concept, live-in-concert and tribute albums. The set includes excerpts from the thoroughly traditional "numbered" albums that made the group's reputation but also covers their pan-Celtic explorations, duets with stars of other genres, including Bela Fleck, Nanci Griffith, Linda Ronstadt and Los Lobos, plus encounters with notable Irish performers like Sinéad O'Connor, Van Morrison, and The Corrs. It is obviously impossible to encapsulate such a long and varied career, even over the length of two generously-filled disks, but this well-picked program gives an accurate picture of the band's astonishing scope and virtuosity. --Christina Roden

This 2 CD set has great variety and is packed with great songs and performers. The traditional Chieftan style permeates the album but the variety of guest artists and wide range of songs makes this one of our most played CD's.

A good collection--but not entirely my definition of essential.......2007-01-19

They've got a lot of the country roots in this collection in addition to a lot of their early work, but I'm particularly missing "Morning has Broken" with Art Garfunkel, "Rocky Road to Dublin" and the multinational chart hit, "Sake in the Jar."

Still this is a very worthwhile collection particularly if you don't have some of the Nashville Chieftains CDs.

An excellent overview of Ireland's most famous band that isn't U2.......2006-03-16

If there's a lack of green in your wardrobe, consider loading The Essential Chieftains on your iPod this St. Patrick's Day to celebrate your Irish side ... and avoid any unwanted pinches. This new two-CD, sprawling anthology features the best of Ireland's leading band. For novices unsure where to begin with the band's approximately 40 albums over the past four decades, "The Essential Chieftains" is the place to start. This compilation focuses on their work from the 1960s to 2003, collecting for the first time together their work on several different record labels. The Essential Chieftains is nicely split into two complementary discs: "The Chieftains' Roots," focusing heavily on more traditional instrumentals, jigs and reels, and Disc 2, "The Chieftains and Friends," which includes collaborations over the years with a cast of all-stars including Sting, Elvis Costello, Ricky Skaggs, Alison Krauss, Jackson Browne and many more. If you're wanting that classic pipes-heavy, cheery Irish bounce, Disc 1 offers it in spades. Disc 2 has the sound of a slightly tipsy, mad all-star jam that lasts for hours, and the many voices contributing to the Chieftains sound gives it a nicely diverse feel. Particular highlights include Van Morrison's clarion voice on "Shenandoah," Irishwoman Sinéad O'Connor on the magnificently epic "The Foggy Dew," and Skaggs's countrified turn on "Cotton-Eyed Joe." You'll also find The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Béla Fleck and Nanci Griffith popping up on Disc 2. The Chieftains long ago reached beyond Ireland's borders for influences - you'll find guest stars like a Chinese ensemble in a track from 1987's The Chieftains in China, or a Spanish flavor to the jaunty "Guadalupe," which features guest spots by Los Lobos and Linda Ronstadt. Chieftains aficionados will appreciate the survey of their career this 35-track set offers, but it's perhaps even better for newcomers - who can get a healthy sampling of one of the leading popularizers of world music.

More than three decades and many albums spent charting the gorgeous musical landscape of Ireland have made the Chieftains by far the world's most recognized and qualified ambassadors of Celtic sound and rhythm. Having toured the globe and garnered numerous awards, the traditional sextet has set its sights on something bigger: the pop charts. Though they've worked in the past with names like Roger Daltrey, Nanci Griffith, and Willie Nelson, on The Long Black Veil the Chieftains graduate to A-list guest stars with appearances by Sting, the Rolling Stones, and, yes, even Tom Jones.

It's a testimony to the considerable talents and character of the Chieftains that none of the celebrity personalities or egos upstage the band on this record. Rather, the musicians always stay in control and the instruments remain at the center of the songs. So while Mick Jagger delivers a stirring reading of the title song, it's the pipes and fiddles that transform the country standard into deep Gaelic soul music. Turns by Marianne Faithfull, Ry Cooder, Mark Knopfler, Sinead O'Connor, and old buddy Van Morrison (doing his own "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You?") come off predictably and competently, but breathing life into familiar, mostly traditional tunes like "The Lily of the West" and "The Foggy Dew" is ultimately the province of bandleader/tin whistler Paddy Moloney and his more-than-competent mates. --Roni Sarig

Great Renditions of Classic Songs.......2007-04-08

I've been a fan of the Chieftains for many years. I saw them play live in Millstreet, County Cork, and the band was simply phenomenal. They truly deserve the kudos they have received over the years for their musicianship and down to earth friendliness.

The Long Black Veil is a bit of a departure for them - the band serves as a background for many modern, popular artists. You might think that Sting, Mick Jagger, Tom Jones, Sinead O'Connor, Van Morrison and others might overpower this group of folk players. But actually, the opposite happens. Sting's lilting voice fades seamlessly into the background as the gorgeous melodies intertwine. The songs are memorable not because a "famous name" is attached to the title, but because the classic tune is handled deftly by the Chieftains, and a well trained voice happens to supply the vocals.

It's fascinating in a way to see this diverse group of artists all singing traditional songs - songs that you might not otherwise ever hear them take on. But the real joy here is to hear your favorite classics done with such care and love. These artists all chose songs that had great meaning to them, and the Chieftains put their souls into the richness of the underlying tune. Each song here is a favorite for me for a different reasons.

Some Irish CDs are meant to be played in the background while people chug beer and talk in loud voices. Other CDs are put on for wild dancing and cheering the night through. This CD shines when you sit back, a glass in your hand, and you really listen to the nuances. You can hear the peat crackling softly on the fire, the wind whistling across the foggy meadows, and the textures of Ireland's past whispering through the beats. I've owned this for many years, and it's a CD I always come back to.

Highly recommended.

Typical Chieftans.......2007-01-04

One of those albums where every track is a good track. It just keeps growing on you.

Various pop rockers try their hand at olde-time Gaelic.......2006-07-06

Having heard this album again for the first time in several years, I was struck by the fact that it's a relatively schmaltzy collection of decent and not-so-decent tracks, featuring a rogues gallery of Anglosphere pop names: Sting, Sinead O'Connor, Van Morrison, Mick Jagger, Mark Knopfler, Tom Jones, the usual suspects are all here. Each artist reaches (sometimes painfully) for a degree of Old Country authenticity, backed by the signature Celtic pub bawdiness that has come to typify the Chieftains and their nostalgic Irish sound.

All I can say is, I enjoyed the instrumental tracks far more than the ones with singing, as the pop artists often seem to be trying too hard.

Perhaps I am just weary of the overall cultural rush to embrace and commercialize all things Gaelic/Celtic. I don't know what it's like in the UK, but here in the States, it seems as if every swinging Richard is putting on the Green, or swaggering in a kilt, no matter how attenuated their blood connection to the Isles.

So lift a pint to this mediocre work, burn the instrumental tracks for safekeeping, and pawn it off at your local buy/trade shop for something a tad more interesting.

THE CHIEFTANS "A-CHIEF" THE BEST.......2005-09-08

This is the best that the Chieftans have to offer; a great mix of musical genres and great voices to accompany them. Say what you will about her politics, but Sinead O'Connor's voice has never been as haunting as on "He Moved Through the Fair". Sting's voice seems to blend seamlessly with the Celtic instruments and melodies. And, are there ever two words more happily seen on any album than "Ry Cooder"?? The Chieftans took "folk" music, included folks from other cultures, but somehow made it all their own.

An essential addition to any good CD collection. Buy It........2005-08-03

`The Long Black Veil' by the Irish musical group, the Chieftains is a demonstration of the power of a guest appearance by Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones on the album of a well established group of a different genre.

I recall this album being previewed on our local NPR station on a Tuesday and when I went to my local Borders in the same radio market, the CD was completely sold out within a day of the airplay of the title cut on which the Mick does the vocal solo.

And, to make the mix even more interesting, this particular album has quite a large mix of guest stars, far beyond the previous Chieftains hosting a single guest, as they did with their album with Van Morrison. The other guests are Sting, Sninead O'Connor on two tracks, Van Morrison, Mark Knopfler, Ry Cooder on two cuts, Marianee Faithfull, and Tom Jones. Even Frank Zappa makes a ghostly appearance as the host of the recording session with Tom Jones on the `Tennessee Waltz'.

The combination of this awesome collection of talent plus the great instrumental work by the Chieftans themselves makes each and every track on this album an evocation which survives relistening over the years.

One Irish music weakness this album escapes is the feeling that there is really only one `Irish song', done in many different styles with many different combinations of lyrics and instruments. While I never totally subscribed to this theory, there is a sense in which there is a great sameness to the melodies of many Irish songs. This is probably what is meant by the `lilt' of Irish melodies. Oddly, I think it is probably harder to identify the nature of this `lilt' than it is to exactly define what distinguishes a blues song, which must be an iambic pentameter, exactly the same meter as Shakespeare's verses.

My most important message to non-Irish music fans is that you will like this album even if you have no taste for traditional Irish music. You will probably like it even if you don't like the Rolling Stones. Jagger's vocals on the title tune indicates how well he would do with other traditional material. I also have to say that Sinead O'Connor's performances on this album prompted me to get some of her albums, and I find her work alone is simply not quite as good as her two selections on this album.

Very highly recommended.

On Water from the Well, Paddy Moloney and the Chieftains return to the traditional Irish music that first made their reputations in the early 60s. Unlike most of their recordings from the 1990s there is nary a rock star, folk singer, or symphony orchestra to be found. Instead the Chieftains have chosen to play with some of Ireland's finest musicians, including Barney McKenna, Seamus Begley, Altan, and the Kilfenora Ceili Band. Here the Chieftains cover the entire spectrum of Irish traditional music, from a stately version of "Planxty George Brabazon" with the Belfast Harp Orchestra to a raucous session in flautist Matt Molloy's pub to a number of ballads sweetly sung by Kevin Conneff. The Chieftains have always performed at the highest level, but on Water from the Well the combination of familiar tunes and great musical guests seems to have inspired them to some of their best playing in years. --Michael Simmons

THIS WATER RUNS DEEP.......2006-10-03

THE CHIEFTAINS have been wowing audiences for decades with "authentic" Irish/Gaelic music long before it became "chic." The energy and gift of sharing so notable in their concerts comes through with gusto in their recordings. The selected CD WATER FROM THE WELL features The May Morning Dew that illustrates the long-standing effects of oppression with a nostalgic simplicity.

TOP PICKS: TEARS OF STONE (highly recommended) features such formidable female vocalists as Bonnie Raitt, Natalie Merchant; Joni Mitchell; Sinéad O'Connor; Loreena McKennitt; Akiko Yano and others.

I am not the biggest fan of the Chieftains later recordings, but when they do Irish traditional tunes I can't help but love it. This CD is full of great old traditional tunes and songs, with sets including such favorites as Dowd's No. 9, Tom Billy's, Star Above the Garter, and King of the Pipers, among others. Guests include such greats as Altan on the Donnegal set, and Tommy Peoples is among the Kilfenora Ceilidh Band members playing on the Kilfenora set. A great CD that is highly recommended for anyone who loves the Chieftains and/or Irish traditional music.

Excellent Irish Folk Music.......2005-01-26

Irish folk music sounds like you would expect it to sound; lots of pipes and fiddles and a distinctly Irish sound. However, just because you may think you know what Irish music sounds like because you have heard it on a sound track means little until you spin this CD.

The CD takes you right into an Irish jig with "Lots of Drops of Brandy," an enthusiastically played instrumental. Rather than fancy production in a studio, the group sounds as though it were sitting in a barn or a bar, playing for a crowd of people. This music is played as music has long been, without electronic trickery and lots of well-honed skill. The second track, "Bean An Fhir Rua," is another lovely instrumental featuring a harpsichord, a flute and Uilleann pipes, I think. This new-age sounding music may make some reconsider what they think Irish music may be.

"Jack of All Trades" is the first vocal on this CD. This short song sounds like a traditional Irish pub song. After this song is yet another instrumental, "Within a Mile of Dublin/The Old Blackthorn." This instrumental is predominantly fiddles, a banjo and flute; a spare folk tune that one might have heard at a local shop in days gone by. "The Dusty Miller" is a longer instrumental in a similar vein to the previous one, this time without the banjo. The flute intro on this selection leads to a fiddle solo followed by the Uilleann pipes. The instrumental increases in tempo and complexity after the first instruments take their turn. I like the flute in this traditional instrumental as it reminds me a lot of some of the style of Ray Thomas of the Moody Blues.

"The Lovely Sweet Banks of the Moy" is haunting, led by a flute. You can imagine the flautist sitting on the banks of a river, and then Kevin Conneff's vocals start, clear and simple. At the end of the vocals fiddles take over leading into harp and flute, a lovely faerie song for a bright summer day under the trees that can bring a tear to your eye.

The next song, "An Poc Ar Buile," is in contrast as it features more powerful vocals by guest vocalists. Portions of the song were recorded live and the recording fits well with the song's style, which again is another pub song. "The Dingle Set" is an instrumental with a fast pace that fits with the power of the previous song. This instrumental also features several guest instruments, including an accordion, concertina, banjo and fiddle.

The following instrumental, "Planxty George Brabazon," is light, quick and airy with support from Janet Harbison and the Belfast Harp Orchestra. The pace remains quick with "The Donegal Set," which again adds a number of guest instruments.

"The Morning May Dew" is another song with a mellow, contemplative theme. You can imagine the singer sitting in the early morning in a glade with tall grass, surrounded by woods, singing a song of pasts remembered and days gone by to the early morning sun. The pace then quickens to break the somber mood with the fast-paced instrumental "The Kilfenora Set." The rousing fiddles of this instrumental make you want to get up and move around, perhaps even dance a little dance. The fast-pace of the "The Kilfenora Set" changes quickly in the next instrumental, "An Buinnean Bui/The County Tyrone/Newry Hornpipe." This instrumental starts slowly by relying on a very slow harp, later joined by mellow fiddles. Near the end of this selection the pace picks up substantially, led particularly by a flute.

"Ballyfin Polkas" kicks the pace up a notch. You can hear the sound of dancing and occasional calls that indicate the live nature of some of this wonderful instrumental. This instrumental leads to one of the most interesting songs on this CD, "Casadh An tSugain." Even knowing that this song is based in Irish folk music, there are elements that sound as though there could be an Asian influence, perhaps showing that sometimes the development of music is based on the types of instruments available rather than a stylistic preference.

"Live from Matt Molloy's Pub" is just what is sounds like, a fast-paced, fun pub instrumental that was recorded live at the pub.

The CD ends with "An Gaoth Aneas," yet another haunting instrumental that has a new age flavor to it. Of course, new age is just another name for a type of music that has strong folk influence, and Irish music is one of those influences.

Irish music is like a lot of other genre music; you will either enjoy it, or you will dislike it. However, the skill of the musicians in this acoustic music is outstanding and this music has much to commend it to a discerning listener. You will find the roots of many styles of music in these Irish tunes, and for those with eclectic tastes, you will find these tunes to be an enjoyable addition to your music collection. For those who know they like the best music the world has to offer.

Could they get any better??.......2004-08-05

I don't know a mood this CD fails to convey. From the sprightly Dusty Miller and Lots of Drops of Brandy to the mournful May Morning Dew to the exquisite Planxty George Brabazon to the hilarious Jack of All Trades and An Poc Ar Buille, it's all here. And the exquisite musicianship and artistry of all of these incredibly blessed performers shines in every note.

Water from the Well.......2004-06-19

The Chieftains have long been regarded as Ireland's musical ambassadors. Since their first album in 1962 they have forged ahead more than any other Irish group, breaching the wall that had long existed between Celtic music and the rest of the world, simultaneously preserving and redefining it. But since Boil the Breakfast Early, also known as The Chieftains 9, they have diverged from their roots to pursue other Celtic traditions (such as those of Brittany in France and Galicia in Spain) and collaborations with anybody that was willing. 2000's Water from the Well, however, signaled a return to form after a decade filled with rock & rollers, symphony orchestras, and country western singers.

And what a way to end the past millennium! Water from the Well finds the Chieftains at the top of their game, and they're having a grand old time being there too. There are collaborations here as well, but not with folks like Van Morrison or Sting or Mick Jagger (excellent artists though they all are) - this time it's the Chieftains paired with some of the best traditional artists of our time. From the rollicking opener Lots of Drops of Brandy to the indescribably beautiful closer An Gaoeth Aneas (The South Wind) this album is spot on, both in instrumentation and in delivery. And the tracklist is as varied as the lineup. There is something for every fan of The Music, as it is called, here. From slow airs to blasting polkas and reels to sprightly jigs and hornpipes, from harp orchestras to live sessions at flutist Matt Molloy's pub in Westport, Co. Mayo, nothing on this CD is dragged down by distracting digression from the tradition or uninteresting arrangements. This is pure music - nothing more, nothing less. If you can listen and remain unmoved, you have no soul.

I own all but a few of the Chieftains' albums and dozens by other Irish artists, and to this day Water from the Well overall remains perhaps the most amazing listen in my collection. If you decide to get this record, it may well prove one of the most important Irish music purchases you will ever make. God only knows how it did for me.

As on Another Country (1992) and The Old Plank Road (2002), the venerable Irish acoustic band celebrates the shared sources of Celtic music and America's Appalachian folk/old-timey/bluegrass canon. That several of the guest players are veterans of all three sets lends a note of continuity to the palpable joy of discovery that fairly leaps from every track. Highlights are non-stop, but Allison Moorer's doom-laden vocal on "Hick's Farewell" raises goose-flesh, as does Emmylou Harris' "Lambs In The Greenfield," while Don Williams' treatment of an old Scottish ballad, "Wild Mountain Thyme," reveals a sturdy, unsentimental masculinity. The Chieftains are generous hosts throughout, often taking a back seat so their collaborators may shine. A poignant note: harpist and multi-instrumentalist Derek Bell, a longtime Chieftains member, died just after the Plank Road sessions were completed. That these were destined to be among his final recordings makes them all the more worthy of treasuring. --Christina Roden

Great second set of roots music from "The Plank Road Sessions".......2006-04-17

Here we go again. This time around, I think the CD is highlighted by one of country's greatest living legends and one of bluegrass music's greatest young acts. That would be "Wild Mountain Thyme" by gentleman Don Williams and "The Raggle Taggle Gypsy" by Nickel Creek. There are some great pipe tunes on this one as well. Once again we have some themes which seem to exude Appalachia whereas others have a "Northerly" feel. Highly recommended.

Chieftains Merge Irish & Bluegrass Influences.......2005-03-22

This follow-up to 2002's DOWN THE OLD PLANK ROAD doesn't deviate from that album's successful formula of combining traditional Irish music with bluegrass and old timey country music.

Highlights include Tim O'Brien's foot-stomping rendition of "Shady Grove, John Prine's plaintive "The Girl I Left Behind," Ricky Skaggs' "Talk About Suffering/Man of the House" and Nickel Creek's performance of the centuries' old "Raggle Taggle Gypsy."

Several of these songs were not originally recorded for this album. "Fishmerman's Hornpipe/The Devil's Dream," which features the lightning fingers of Doc Watson, was recorded in 1980-81. Four other tracks (9-12) were recorded in 1992, presumably during the sessions for the 1992 release ANOTHER COUNTRY.

Overall, this is a thoroughly satisfying album from Ireland's best ambassadors of Irish music. [Running time 55:06] HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Way Down The Old Plank Road.......2003-12-09

Both "Plank Road" CDs are great for fans of Irish/Old Time/Country music.
Highlights on this one, for me, include John Hiatt's version of the Uncle Dave Macon song Jordan is a Hard Road, and Doc Watson with the Chieftains.
The Nickle Creek version of Raggle Tagle Gypsy doesn't do it for me -- I've been spoiled by listening to the Planxty version for years.
All in all a great listen, with an interesting historical connection.

further is better.......2003-10-01

I found the first cd by the chieftains recorded in Nashville to lack a cohesiveness. It also, in my opinion, suffered from the excess of having a 10+ minute instrumental song at the end that seemed to drone on and on. This one "works" better for me and is entertaining and enjoyable from start to finish. An excellent variety of collaborating artists with everything from the country baritone of Don Williams to the beautiful vocal instrument of Emmylou Harris's voice. Highly recommended for Chieftain and country (real country) music fans alike.

I was surprised that there was no mention of the passing of Derek Bell in the liner notes of the cd. Perhaps a tribute to him will be made in an upcoming cd.

The Chieftains turn out another winner.......2003-09-21

Well, it looks like those old Irish rogues The Chieftains have managed to do it again - take two different but interrelated musical styles, find the best performers in the genre, and pair them up with their group to create a unique and oftentimes brilliant sound. With this take we return to the connection between Irish traditional and American country and bluegrass music, just like their last album, "Down the Old Plank Road" was - in fact, "Further Down the Old Plank Road" is the recording sessions they didn't have room to cram into the first one. And while with some other artists this would seem like an attempt to make money off of work they'd already done, in this case the work is just as high in quality as the first album was, therefore earning itself the merit of being well worth the surprisingly modest price tag.
This album has a wide variety of both Irish and American pieces on it, opening with the old standard "The Raggle Taggle Gypsy", performed with Nickel Creek to stunning results. Next comes the American folk song "Jordan is a Hard Road to Travel" with John Hiatt, and if it weren't for Hiatt's superbly raspy old-time voice this would pass as a traditional dance from back over on the Emerald Isle. Following this upbeat tune comes a mournful Southern song with Allison Moorer, the solemn "Hick's Farewell", her voice backed quietly by Paddy and his boys and attended to by the sorrowful wailing of Matt Molloy's flute. "Shady Grove" with Tim O'Brien has lyrics that are very American in nature but a tune that, like much of the material on this album, could have come right out of Ireland itself.
The incomparable John Prine accompanies The Chieftains on "The Girl I Left Behind", employing his once-twangy but now warmer and deeper voice to a song that sounds like a lot of his other work - not a bad thing, mind you. The following set with Jerry Douglas contains the Irish tunes "Rosc Catha Na Mumhain" and "The Wild Irishman", both played superbly, as well as an unexpected treat - "The Arkansas Traveler", undoubtedly one of the best-known old-time folk songs that transforms the track from a set of Celtic tunes to a sort of Irish hoedown, as the liner notes put it. After that comes a superbly sad/sweet Irish song, "Lambs in the Greenfield", played with a past Chieftains collaborator Emmylou Harris, to lovely results. In the space of Band 8 Joe Ely shows up with his roguishly rambling voice, singing two tunes that suit his demeanor well - "The Moonshiner" and "I'm a Rambler".
Country legend Don Williams turns up on this album to sing that beautiful old Irish ballad, "Wild Mountain Thyme" with his virtually-trademark deep country voice that gives the classic air a new dimension. Chet Atkins plays on "Chief O'Neill's Hornpipe", which if memory serves was actually recorded back on The Chieftains' first bluegrass/country endeavor, "Another Country", and could be considered the single cheap shot on the album, even though the collaboration is still very high quality. Band 11 contains Carlene Carter's "Bandit of Love" from 1980, sung by the composer and The Chieftains' own "The Cheatin' Waltz", the former taking up a much longer time slot than the latter. The famous Nitty Gritty Dirt Band gives a spirited performance of "The Squid-Jiggin' Ground", a lively little song rather peculiar in subject but catchy in tune, its words having been set to the Irish Larry O'Gaff's Jig by immigrants to Newfoundland, Canada.
Patty Loveless delivers a wailing rendition of "Three Little Babes", an anguish-filled variant of an old English air sung in the Appalachian Mountains. On track 14 Doc Watson plays a sprightly hornpipe popular on both sides of the Atlantic, "The Fisherman's Hornpipe", followed by another famous tune, "Devil's Dream." Long-time friend of The Chieftains Ricky Skaggs lays down another soulful Southern song, "Talk About Sufferin'", written in the gospel singing tradition of the American southeast. The final tune, "The Lily of the West", has been sung by The Chieftains on a past album, "The Long Black Veil", in collaboration with Mark Knopfler. But sung here to a different tune with somewhat altered lyrics by Rosanne Cash, Johnny "The Man in Black" Cash's daughter, the song takes on an entirely different feel, to my ears less appealing than Knopfler's rendition but still enjoyable.
All in all, "Further Down the Old Plank Road" is anything but an attempt to administer one last whack to a long-dead horse, to paraphrase the liner notes of "Water from the Well" (also a great album). Even though American music is the predominate style on the album, it's still a real treat for Chieftains fans and a great listen for any fan of traditional Irish, bluegrass, or country music, or any of the performers above for that matter. Highly recommended!

Yet Another Awesome Williams Score!.......2005-04-05

You pop in this CD, and as soon as song 1 starts, you are hooked. I am a huge fan of John Williams and his scores. They are all so intensely rich and detailed. The celtic air of this score is simply thrilling, and the main theme is beaturiful.

This CD has no flaws. Aside from all the slow drama music, this CD is also full of fast paced action music.

A must have!

Williams does an Irish turn.......2003-08-19

Once again John Williams shows why he is so sought after as a soundtrack composer. Anyone who has heard of this movie knows that it focuses on a young Irish couple seeking a new life in turn-of-the-century America, and Williams immerses himself so thoroughly in that reality that you almost feel as if you're listening to a CD by one of the many Celtic groups like Clannad or Gaelic Storm, only without the vocals. From the triumphant to the contemplative to the pugnacious to the lively rhythm of the jig, every aspect of the Irish musical character is here. (You may find that you have to turn up the volume: for some reason it isn't recorded at a particularly listenable level!) There are also moments (as in "Shannon is Shot") when Williams's own voice, so familiar to us from the "Star Wars" movies and his many other triumphs, makes a surprise appearance. Once the characters have reached the West ("Oklahoma Territory," "The Land Race") he blends his recurring Irish themes with a musical motif that suggests the newness and astonishing size of the country and the many adjustments the young pioneers have to make. I can't help wondering what Williams would be able to do with a "real" Western (why didn't Kevin Costner hire him for "Open Range," for instance?). An impressive example of a great composer's work.

Williams in top form once again.......2002-11-19

I don't know how many times i've said that before. So many i've lost count. John Williams is without a doubt the best composer out there. He is the best thematic composer hands down and writes knockout theme after knockout theme. This one is no exception. With a touch of Irish in the music, similiar to the route Horner used in Braveheart (Braveheart used Scottish), Far and Away blows Braveheart out of the water. 2 dominant themes occur throughout the score. The first one features The Chieftains, along with Uillean pipes, pan flutes, and penny whistles. The second, which is the main theme and the one that gives the score its 5 stars, is bold, brassy, noble, and heroic all thrown into one. "The Duel Scene" and "Leaving Home" feature this theme played by strings. Fun cues to listen to include "Blowing Off Steam" and "Fighting For Dough". Both contain exciting and very fast violin lines. "The Big Match" is a highlight action cue with a militaristic snare drum thrown in. "Joseph's Dream" contains an upbeat brass march that explodes into the main theme. The best track on the album by far is "The Land Race" which is Williams in top form. It is an epic action cue that lays out the main theme the best you will ever hear it in a full brass performance. "End Credits" features both themes thrown into one suite. Enya's song "Book of Days" is good and fits into the score perfectly. This is a score that deserves to be heard because it is so good. In other words, its a John Williams score.

Exciting form Beginning to End!.......2002-02-24

There seems to be an easy way to tell an artist's appreciation for his own work. No matter the style nor the intensity, whether the project is naturally subtle and reserved or inherently loud and bombast, there can always be an underlying excitement that reveals the artists passion for the project. Far and Away, in that case, seems like one of composer John Williams' absolute favorites. He seems to be in love with everything about this film and the style he was able to use. There is a wild energy here that many film composers never achieve, but even for Williams--who remains, with little argument, as the greatest living film composer--this exceeds some of even his more well-known works.

Starting with the sheer quantity and quality of themes, the score for Far and Away is epic. They are innumerable, just listen to the concluding "End Credits" track--and moreover, each has its own, fun style that circles the complex melding of Irish and American culture. And that is really what this score is about, the complementation of the Irish and American together as they coalesce into one and prove and develop one another. And in between Williams' masterful development of these multiple themes, as he presents them, re-imagines them, and utilizes them to their fullest capacity, he interjects some of the most beautiful thematic outbursts ever created for a film. It's harsh calling this score capricious, since it doesn't work to the music's detriment, but sometimes the mood will change so quickly and develop into a new style with new and interesting rhythms, sounds, and harmonies, that one cannot help but be enthralled by Williams' abundant imagination.

And so the finished product is the amalgamation of some of the most beautiful music, instruments, and rhythms ever to grace the big screen. Williams' undoubtedly paid a lot of attention to the music for this score, as it comes across as a veritable feat of composition. Since it does heavily reflect Irish music, I mark it as somewhere as a cross between James Horner's Willow and Ronan Hardiman's Lord of the Dance. But while in Willow Horner divulged the same outbursts of singular beauty, Williams' in Far and Away manages to surpass it by enshrouding the same outbursts more cohesively in the thematic beauty of the whole film. Certainly, this is a score not to be missed by even the most remote film music fan, and not least of all the Williams' aficionado. Far and Away represents an exciting, perpetually entertaining, adventure through the complimentary cultures of Ireland and America, as they form together to make one of the most satisfying scores ever composed.

Buy this.......2002-01-27

Although I am biased because Far and Away is my favorite movie, the soundtrack is quite wonderful on its own. John Williams once again shows his musical genius by creating an evocative, moving composition. Buy this CD and you will not be disappointed.

Now that bluegrass is (again) momentarily cool, leave it to the Chieftains to (again) plunge an all-star country cast into the Celtic wellsprings of old-time music, just as they did 10 years ago with 1992's Another Country. It's no surprise that the Chieftains can handle the rapacious rhythms of a hot fiddle tune; whether they can go toe-to-toe with the likes of Tim O'Brien, Béla Fleck, Ricky Skaggs, and Del McCoury is another matter. Rest assured they can, and they even coax some inspired jamming from Earl Scruggs--who sounds like he has something to prove on "Sally Goodin"--and a chilling vocal from Alison Krauss on "Molly Ban," the Celtic equivalent of "Fair and Tender Maidens." The Chieftains' only miscue comes in wasting Vince Gill's talents on a busily arranged "Dark as a Dungeon." While this set will likely appeal more to fans of contemporary Irish music than to hard-core twang fans, anyone who loves acoustic roots music will find these collaborations refreshing, if not down-right bracing. --Roy Kasten

Roots of Bluegrass.......2007-05-24

The Chieftains..BLUE GRASS?
Yep, shure 'nough is, y'all.
Well, sorta...

When people hear "Chieftains" they're thinking Irish, Gaelic..but BLUE GRASS? Actually it's not a stretch at all considering that Irish folk music played a major role in the creation of American folk music, Blue Grass (Tenessee, Kentucky)--and via Blue Grass to Country & Western. Of course other ethnic flavors are involved including Scottish & colonial British, French, Spanish & African (Gospel, Blues, Jazz.)

To offer a comparison, the soundtrack of "O, Brother, Where Art Thou?" gives a pretty good sampler of Blue Grass, & this CD does the same--but with more songs, more A-List US artists (John Hiatt, Bela Fleck, Earl Scruggs, Vince Gill, Alison Krauss, Lyle Lovetti, Paty Griffin & other greats) resulting in this more artistically cohesive CD.

So where are the Chiefains you might ask? Well, it's true they are more in the studio background than the forefront, but once you realize how effective that the background is, you can enjoy the final result.

The CD features the original musical treatment of such standards as Don't Let Your Deal Go Down, Whole Heaps of Little Horses, Tennesse Stud, and Katie Dear [A variant of Silver Dagger]

Long Black Veil
Water From the Well
Tears Of Stone
Northern Journey
Four Strong Winds

Great roots music!!.......2006-04-17

What can I say that hasn't been said already? This is a great CD. The song "Rain and Snow" by the Del McCoury Band is, in my opinion, worth the purchase alone. Other highlights include: "Dark as a Dungeon" by Vince Gill, "Molly Ban" by the always wonderful Alison Krauss, and "Tennessee Stud" by Jeff White. Celtic music is so ethereal whereas bluegrass seems to ground the music and give it that extra folksy feel. The music is passionate and describes lifestyles, especially those of the Appalachians, which weren't always glamorous yet were rich in heritage and pride. Tremendous musical combination!

MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN.......2005-07-30

Take the elegant, sweet vocals of Alison Krauss, and combine them with the crushing instrumental power of the Chieftains, and you have one of the greatest musical collaborations of the last 50 years. Absolutely top-to-bottom brilliance. Highly recommend to anyone who likes bluegrass, traditional folk, Celtic, oxygen, or food! A MUST OWN!

Martina McBride Is a Revelation.......2005-07-23

Excellent, if somewhat eclectic, album, and I wish the Chieftains had been more front and center. But I find the album a consistent delight, with (and to be expected)typically first- rate performances from Gillian Welch, Alison Krauss, Earl Scruggs, Ricky Skaggs, etc. But the revelation for me was Martina McBride's "I'll Be All Smiles Tonight." Where did that come from? She could out-Rhonda Rhonda Vincent when it comes to powerful Bluegrass ballad wailing. I've never been a big McBride fan, but I'd sure be interested in more stuff like this.

Irish Muusic and Bluegrass Is a Natural Combination.......2005-03-22

There are two types of people in this world: Those who were born Irish and the rest of us who wish we were. [I fall into the latter category.] I have been nurturing a love affair with both bluegrass and Irish music for more than thirty years, and the links between the two genres have never been more evident than on this meeting of the Chieftains and some of the biggest names in bluegrass and country music, including Bela Fleck, Earl Scruggs, Ricky Skaggs, the Del McCoury Band, Alison Krauss, Tim O'Brien and Vince Gill.

Highlights include the instrumentals "Sally Goodin" and the medley of reels, along with Vince Gill's Take on the Merle Travis classic "Dark As a Dungeon" and Gillian Welch & David Rawlings mournful "Katie Dear." The album closes on a rousing note with the 10-minute romp "Give the Fiddler a Dram."

While I have to agree with my fellow reviewers who feel that the Chieftains have been relegated to session player status on this recording, this is a thoroughly satisfying album from start to finish. [Playing Time 54:30] RECOMMENDED

Ireland's world-class ambassadors the Chieftains seem determined to play with anyone who is anyone, regardless of genre. On The Bells of Dublin, they do an exceptional job of teaming up with the likes of rockers Jackson Browne and Elvis Costello, as well as songbirds Marianne Faithfull, Rickie Lee Jones, Kate and Anna McGarrigle, and Nanci Griffith. There are many resplendent performances here, the least of which is Costello and company's raucous "St. Stephen's Day Murders." Like a banquet of traditional Irish fare with some updating to accommodate individual guests, Bells is the kind of holiday record you don't want to end. --Martin Keller

This is a beautiful album. The Irishness and Chieftains-esque thread runs through it all, but the guest appearances make for a varied and unique listen. It is old and new at the same time. I love this music. Merry Christmas to all.

Great Christmas CD........2007-01-12

The Chieftains are, as usual, awesome and with the help of some good friends have crafted what I think is the best Christmas/Celtic CD out there. It came out years ago, but it has never lost it's flavor, timeliness, or sense of pure Celtic enjoyment. An absolute joy to own again and to listen to.

Hands down - best holiday cd EVER.......2006-12-12

The Chieftans are the only ones capable of making the global leap and carrying such a variety of artists to play WITH them. True it's a holiday cd and it's all you expect: inspiring, comforting, humourous and familiar. It's also breath taking beautiful. Light the candles and cozy up; I've never found a better cd for the season BUT! I don't know how some people keep this for holidays only -- I play the Macgarriles and The Wren medley frequently just for a pick me up.

I'm eternally grateful to the Chieftans for the musical education they've provided me throughout the years - amazing artists and this cd is a must if it's not in your holiday collection.

Already a favorite.......2006-12-06

I actually bought this CD because I am a huge Jackson Browne fan and he performs "Rebel Jesus" on it. Turns out that I prefer Jackson's rendition of "Rebel..." on his "Next Voice You Hear" CD MUCH better.
But as for this CD, it's wonderful. I loved it and I have played it every day since it arrived. Light the candles, and turn it up. Even my day care kids love it! I will need to buy another copy...so I have one for my car and one for my home. And a few for gifts for friends and family......a great CD!

Irreplaceable Part of my Christmas Collection.......2006-08-17

I love Christmas music. I'm one of these annoying people who can hardly wait until the day after Thanksgiving to play it around all the other people who can't stand to hear it until then. It's not necessarily a religious thing for me, because it's been true even through my atheist years; but more of a traditional thing associated with the types of European and folk music I like. So I long ago began collecting all sorts of Christmas CD's, both to listen to as a whole, and to combine with others in mixes of music to play at parties, or simply at home while preparing for the holiday.

I've had this one about fifteen years and would never part with it. In fact, I thought it was lost once, bought it again, and ended up with two! I find the Chieftains' and childrens' choirs the most compelling performances. The lone boy's voice singing "Once in Royal David's city" so evokes a blanket of snow with tiny flakes falling down one can imagine young carollers in Ireland. "The Holly Bears the Berry" has always been a favorite in my house simply because of my niece, Holly, who still likes to pantomime her importance in the life of Christ as exemplified by that song (a lot more fun than Deck the Halls, I am told, although that is provided here too).
We are given the history of the trapping of the wren, how people went from place to place to beg money to bury the wren, and then would dance for the people who payed to bury the wren. This is the occasion for glorious dance music that is hard to sit by and just listen to if you are used to getting up to a jig or a reel!

I am not as fond of the celebrities singing on this disk, with the exception of the McGarragle sisters. Their version of the French songs "Il est ne" and "Un flambeau" prove they are as comfortable with folk as pop.

But Elvis Costello is not, and he does not make is black humor sound at all humorous in the "St Stephen's Days Murders."

And I am not sure what Rickie Lee Jones' song sounds like, but it frightens me.

Nancy Griffith's session is fine, but it sounds like a Nancy Griffith session with the Chieftains; they do not blend as well as I would have liked.

The one last jewel, however, regardless of the sound, is the lyric written by Jackson Browne called "The Rebel Jesus." If you are a Christian of any stripe----strong, doubting, seeking; if you're not a Christian wondering why those Christians are so....you know; mostly hypocritical, this may be the song you wish you had written. I often buy Chieftains CDs and Christmas CDs for how they sound, not necessarily the lyric....but this one stops me in my tracks. I'm glad it's on this lovely CD.

When the Chieftains' intrepid bandleader, Paddy Moloney, first heard Carlos Núñez, a young recorder and bagpipe virtuoso from a far-flung Celtic outpost in Spanish Galicia, he was mightily intrigued. Santiago explores a tradition that draws on medieval, Spanish, and Celtic sources; the music is performed on instruments that have changed little over the centuries. Núñez represents the home team, while Los Lobos and Linda Ronstadt personify its Central and South American descendants. Elliot Fisk, a pupil of the guitar maestro Andrés Segovia, and Ry Cooder respectfully contribute sparkling riffs. "Dublin in Vigo," a live track with joyous playing and a high-spirited ambiance, is merely one highlight of many. --Christina Roden

The Chieftains do it again, breaking the Celtic mold. Buy It!.......2005-08-10

`Santiago', an album of Celtic music by The Chieftans is another sample of how this quintessentially Irish group keeps itself fresh by finding new ways to look at their repertoire. Having done some spectacularly endowed albums such as `The Long Grey Veil' with guest appearances by everyone from the Rolling Stones to Tom Jones and a finely done album with Van Morrison as a guest on every track, our Irish lads go visiting their Celtic colleagues on the north coast of Spain.

I some dim attic of my mind I have some memory that the Spanish basques are an offshoot of the great Celtic culture of northwest Europe, of which the last few reminants are the residents of Ireland, Scotland, far western France, and northern Spain. But, it never occurred to me that some of this common culture can be seen today.

The album is named after a northwestern Spanish city, Santiago, in the province of Galicia, a name given to the region by the Romans of 2000 years ago.

My expectation on listening to the album for the first time was to hear one or more tunes which combine Irish and Spanish influences and I am just a little disappointed that there are none of these. The fifteen (15) tracks seem to be divided between songs which sound like they are straight from the Emerald Isle, Songs which are as Spanish as the Flamenco, and songs which arise from the common Catholic liturgical music. A fourth category is songs borrowed from the Spanish new world such as `Santiago de Cuba'.

All this aside, this is a really great album. In my search of Chieftain albums currently available on Amazon, I get the sense that the Chieftains are not doing much new over the last 10 years, so if I were you, I would scoop this up before they fade from commercial memory and availability.

I'm thinking this is THE BEST.......2005-07-09

As much as I loved this album there IS one thing better. That is watching The Chieftains and Mr Nunez perform live. What a wonderful experience both are!

Excellent!.......2004-03-22

I consider myself as a world citizen from Turkey, also a music fan and this album is one of my favorite since I got it in 1996...

The music have a great soul, enthusiasm and passion that you can feel the thrilling excitement of the musicians...For only this reason, I still listen this cd whenever I feel down..It makes me smile and feel good all the time...Be sure you will never get disappointed:-)

Some of the friends that wrote here said that it is not an original Celtic or a Galician music...I recommend them to read what the booklet say...You can find the taste of Celtic/Galician culture in each song, sure not the originals, but all of them contains the expression of a magical synthesis of different cultures-the way of old time migrations...That's why it is better to say this is neither Celtic nor Galician music, but it is 'world music'...If you want to hear Galician music you can try really Milladorio or Luar Na Lubre...Also we can say, better to think that this is the point of view of those great musicians...

For my idea it is one of the best 'world music' album since ever been done...Highly recommended for the 'world music fans' like me...

Beautiful music on unusual instruments........2003-05-26

Having discovered the Chieftains through Kazaa ('net music sharing isn't bad AFTER all!), I went out and purchased Santiago because I became obssessed with Dueling Chanters. Let me tell you; the music contained on this CD is absolutely amazing. A plethora of various instruments are used (most of which haven't been heard of by the general public), and people who have not heard these amazing instruments (Uilleann pipes, bodhrán, Galician pipes, bones, tin whistle, just to name a few) is definitely missing out on some of the better music of the lands of the world. To think this is all coming from a 16 year old guy, whose peers listen to "rap" and "punk". Disgraceful to my kind, aren't I? I enjoy actual *music*, not *noise*. Anyone who enjoys aural ecstasy, Santiago is for you.

One of the elements that's made the Chieftains the stellar Celtic band in the world is their love of innovative collaborations with mainstream pop stars. The Wide World Over: A 40-Year Celebration gathers into a single collection some of the Irish ensemble's most memorable moments, including predictable alliances with artists such as Van Morrison, who sings "Shenandoah" to additional backing by the Irish Film Orchestra, and unlikely pairings like the Rolling Stones, who add a rock kick and the "Satisfaction" riff to "The Rocky Road to Dublin." Cross-cultural experts Linda Ronstadt and Los Lobos demonstrate their versatility on the Mexican ditties "Txalaparta" and "Guadalupe," on which pipes and pennywhistle don't seem a whisker out of place, while Ricky Skaggs points to the Irish and British roots of American country music on the rousing "Cotton-Eyed Joe." Art Garfunkel, Sting, Sinead O'Connor, Joni Mitchell, and Elvis Costello are also featured in classic performances with the 40-year-old Irish band, while a brand-new collaboration with Ziggy Marley yields a gorgeous Don Was-produced rendition of Bob Marley's "Redemption Song." The cliché that there's a bit of the Irish in all of us proves true in this wide-ranging, constantly rewarding, and frequently surprising collection. And the tracks on which the Chieftains go it alone are also a gas. --Bob Tarte

just another chieftains cd........ALLRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-03-17

hey what cab i say, a great compilation of of past tunes , a sort of best of from their travels around the world.Great stuff as usual.

less than expected.......2006-03-09

I love the Chieftains But this is not what I expected. I have a lot of these cuts on other cd's and I was hoping for some newer stuff. Some live performances..... some off the wall songs oh well better luck next time.

Thank you!!!!!.......2005-10-31

Do you have any idea how long I have been looking for a recording of "I Know My Love?" Try five years!! When I was in Ireland on tour in 2000, I heard that hauntingly beautiful love song and tried to find it over there. I can't believe that while I looked everywhere over in the UK, I am now finding it five years later, long after giving up, on the Internet! And what a beautiful interpretation it is too. I wouldn't have expected anything less from the mighty Cheiftains...

A Great Collection.......2004-05-24

When you're talking about Irish music, the Chieftains' name will inevitably come up. In many ways, this seemingly-immortal group pioneered the popularity of jigs and reels, and, thanks to the guidance of pipe player Paddy Maloney, worked to combine traditional fare with the best of pop and rock.

Aptly titled "The Wide World Over", this collection focuses more on the group's recent collaborations with mainstream artists than their traditional pieces. Some of the highlights include the Corrs' light-hearted duet, the traditional 'I Know My Love', Sting's powerful 'Mo Ghile Mar', Van Morrison's 'Shenandoah', and the powerful anthem 'Long Journey Home', featuring Elvis Costello.

Why four stars, then? I would have liked to have seen more traditional fare on a compilation album. While there are some fantastic jigs on here, including 'Live from Matt Molloy's Pub' and 'Morning Dew/Women of Ireland', overall the album is lacking in the types of songs that have made the Chieftains famous. And, while the collaborative efforts are commendable, they represent a mere drop in the ocean of what the Chieftains have accomplished. It's a good album, but by no means contains the full spectrum of what this innovative band has recorded.

A collection that celebrates the Irish group's versatility.......2002-12-25

On the one hand, I sure hope that the Chieftains aren't leaving their traditional roots, and on the other hand, I enjoy their explorations of different musical styles.

These are all cuts from previous albums, so he who has all of their albums probably won't want this one. For the rest of us, there are some realy outstanding cuts. I especially enjoyed Sinead O'Connor's singing of the traditional "The Foggy Dew". That one's followed by The Corrs and "I Know My Love", another traditional with a fresh twist. Ricky Skaggs joining the group for "Cotton-Eyed Joe" was a real high point, spotlighting the relation of Irish traditional reels and jigs to bluegrass. Joni Mitchell is one of the greats, and hearing her own "The Magdalene Laundries" backed by the group is a real treat. And Van Morrison bares his soul in "Shenandoah", again highlighting the Irish influence on American music.

I was a bit disappointed with Diana Krall & Art Garfunkel's "Morning Has Broken", which certainly doesn't compare with Cat Stevens. So you can't win them all. Sting didn't seem appropriate on "Mo Ghile Mear" either.

However, I was pleasantly surprised by "Full Of Joy" with the Chinese Ensemble. That's one where it sounded everyone was having fun. And the closing rendition of Bob Marley's "Redemption Song" featuring Ziggy Marley was a winner.

All in all, if you don't have most of these on other Chieftain albums, you'll want this one.
