Editorial Reviews
Will Millar, the former leader of The Irish Rovers, who are best known for their hits "The Unicorn Song" and "Wasn't That A Party, has a long and varied career. After touring with The Irish Rovers for thirty years, Will struck out on his own and tours today with his band, Some Mad Irishmen. He has toured several times throughout the United States and Canada. He's also toured Australia and New Zealand twice with the band and twice in the stage production of "Ireland", a musical retrospective about the Irish emigrant. Will is also a published author. His book, "Messing About In Boats, the Nautical Confessions of A Roving Irishman," made the top ten bestseller list in Canada. He is a concert performer, composer, poet, singer, historian, storyteller, author, TV host and humanitarian who is always off on new adventures.
Product Description
Will Millar's newest instrumental album, "Irish Gold" is set apart from his previous instrumental recordings. It's the first time Will has chosen to record melodies that are near and dear to the hearts of a multitude of homesick Irish; old melodies that remind them of home. They are your Irish grannie's Heart Songs, passed down to become a part of the culture and the memories of her children, growing up in new lands. These popular old songs have lived in Irish Hearts for over a hundred years; it is where old friends and strong, smooth whiskey conjure up the tunes in this collection of Irish Gold--the best-loved melodies that the Irish gave the world. They are presented in their pure form on acoustic instruments. Will has provided the tunes on this album and the listener will surely provide the voice.

Customer Reviews:
George is Wright.......2005-04-19
The selections presented here are a good sampling of George's ability and repertoire. I particularly enjoyed the second track, George's own composition, "Boogie." I know personally several theatre organists who have tried to duplicate his technique on that piece and failed miserably trying!
I was amused by a reviewer's quip regarding a friend of George's saying these tracks were all "rejects." That reminds me of Virgil Fox's many attempts to bring a recording to perfection, spending countless hours on it if necessary. Well, for rejects, they sure sound pretty good to me!
I know that personal taste varies widely. However, I certainly didn't find this CD bland at all, but quite enjoyable. I think you will, too.
BEAUTIFUL VIBRATIONS FROM THE PAST.......2003-12-27
George's test tapes.......2003-10-10
Except for "Stars and Stripes Forever," "Boogie" (a George Wright original composition) and "Under the Double Eagle" (a cut from a later HiFi release which was misidentified as "Washington Post March" on the original LP), none of the other material was ever intended for release. A friend of George's explained it to me this way many years ago, "Those are all rejects - every one of them. It's some stuff that he just did." Basement tapes, in other words. Some of it appears to have been test material to see how the organ would record, others tracks appear to be outtakes from material which was later released ("All Through the Night," for example, another version of which was released under the title "Evening Hymn" for the "Hymns That Live" album, most of which is available on another Legacy CD).
This CD is definitely worth having if you are a big George Wright fan, as I am. It is currently the only CD compilation of the "outtake" material available. It is worth noting, however, that the two opening tracks and the last track are now available on Banda CDs, and the sound is much better since Banda used the original master tapes rather than the tapes used to master the LP's, as Legacy apparently has.
One additional note: on all the tracks, the organ is a 5-manual 21-rank Wurlitzer originally built for and installed in the Paradise Theatre in Chicago and at the time of this recording was installed in the basement studio of Richard Vaughn, the founder of High Fidelity Recordings, Inc., the label for which these tracks were originally recorded.
Technically Flawed CD.......2000-11-28
The audio equalization is so bad the mighty Wurlitzer organ screeches and grates on the ear. George Wright's Banda CD remasters are far, far, better. Legacy needs to redo this recording and volume two as well.

One of my favorite Kim Robertson CD's.......2006-11-10
Rich, romantic compositions for harp and voice.......2002-11-30
Like Early Morning Bells and Afternoon Jacuzzi All At Once.......2002-02-03
Well .... this one was the winner of the group. Everyone agreed. As soon as this album came on, everyone said, "Oh, who got you this one? This one's beautiful." And I had to agree!
This album is almost entirely instrumental - though some very pretty vocals show up sporatically. The album sounds like the colors "white" or "silver" - very clean, crisp music like early morning bells. But at the same time there's nothing "thin" about it. It has a soothing soulfulness that keeps it rich and spiritually rewarding, even through its bright purity.
Some of the harp pieces are so soothing and honest, I can't think of any music that would be more helpful for comforting you at the end of a stressful day.
I recommend this clean, lush album to anyone who needs something pretty just to help carry them away every now and then. And of course, I recommend it if you have a New Age or Celtic music lover for a friend like me, and you need to buy a gift. If you're picking one out at random, pick this one.

Customer Reviews:
The concert covers her career from her early masterpiece "Who Knows Where the Time Goes" till her final album "Rendezvous" from 1977. Most of her classic songs are here; some of the performances are maybe even better than the studio versions.
My favourites are "I`m a Dreamer", "Take Me Away", "It`ll Take a Long Time", "Solo", "Tomorrow is a Long Time", "One More Chance" and "No More Sad Refrains"-
