5 out of 5 stars Italo-Gaelic folk.......2001-03-16

La Grande Famiglia is a spectacular recording by the Modena City Ramblers. It represents perhaps the height of their Irish orientation, after which they begin to introduce more South American (Terra e Liberta) and rock/reggae (Fuori Campo) influences. La Grande Famiglia, however is a wonderfully balanced and diverse album, ranging from beautiful ballads, such as "Canzone dalla Fine del Mondo" and "Al Dievel", to foot-stomping sing-alongs like "Banda del Sogno Interrotto". And while the music is usually distinctly Irish (plus an accordian or two), they maintain a strongly Italian orientation, writing songs about the partisans in WWII and anti-Mafia activists, and covering folk singer Francesco Guccini's "La Locomotiva". All in all, this is a vibrant, fun album and a great introduction to the Ramblers' music.

4 out of 5 stars A great introduction.......2000-09-22

For those of you who want a lively and energetic introduction into a different blend of folk-rock, take a listen at the Modena City Ramblers, even if you don't speak, read or understand Italian. The music moves, sways and carries you into many international avenues that I hope you can enjoy as much as I do. If you're thinking of a visit to Italy, then tune up with some of this group's music. Enjoy!
