    4 out of 5 stars Very Enjoyable.......2005-08-21

    While I doubt this is ALL the best from Ireland, I really enjoyed the CD very much. I still think it is very funny that FORTY SHADES OF GREEN is part of something that is supposed to be traditionally Irish, considering it was written by Johnny Cash, but any song so well adopted becomes traditional. It is a song worthy of the title, regardless. However, it sounds funny being sung by anyone BUT Johnny. I LOVED GLEN NA SMOL...it is absolutely beautiful. And the Freemans' CARRICKFERGUS is my favorite rendition of the song. It is easy to make it very maudlin or VERY unlistenable (the Grehan Sisters' version) but the Freemans do right by the song. If this CD does nothing but give a taste of Ireland, then it is well worth the price.

    2 out of 5 stars Lots of cheese, but there are a few highlights.......2005-03-10

    Most of the songs here use a sort of easy-listening production style you might hear on an Andy Williams album from the 60s. However, there are a few tracks that have a more stipped-down, bonafide folk feel to them: Black Velvet Band, Whisky in the Jar, Goodbye Mick, and Rosin the Bow. Star of County Down, Dear Old Donegal, and Rose of Trallee are also fairly inoffensive. Overall, this is probably not a bad purchase if you can find it for under $5.

    1 out of 5 stars Look Elswhere.......2005-09-12

    Mix quality is random (vocal blend especially.) The best thing I can say about this collection is that disc 3 is considerably better than 1 and 2. The psuedo-live/pub feel of most songs just comes off as silly. Most songs seem to feature only accordian and drum (and singer), so unless you want to hear lots of accordian music, stay away from this one.

    Songs not featuring the accordian are still woefully short of instruments, as if all the flute and guitar players were on holiday when this was being recorded. It's not a lack of musicianship as much as a total lack of musicians. This album's depth is exceeded by its CD's thickness. Replay value is somewhere below zero: don't even buy it used.

    Additional note: this appears to be identical to Irish Favorites, Vol. 1, except for the addition of the third disc.
