Recorded between 1966 and 1971. Originally released on Decca. Includes liner notes and interviews with band members by Todd Everett.
Somewhere between Bing Crosby's vocal novelties back in the '40s and the current popularity of dance troupes like Riverdance and Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance, the flag of Irish music was held aloft in North America during the '60s by the success of the Irish Rovers. Patterning themselves after the Clancy Brothers (another popular group during the folk boom of the late '50s and early '60s), the group scored their 15 minutes of fame with the children's novelty, "The Unicorn," included here on Best of Irish Rovers. But the group was no children's novelty act, as witnessed by the preponderance of straight-ahead Irish drinking songs that spice up this 16-track collection. Highlights include "The Irish Rover," "Whiskey on a Sunday," "Mrs. Crandall's Boarding ...

| | Best Of Clannad: In A Lifetime CD (2004)
Celtic Mystery album
$8.99
With over ten different greatest-hits collections to choose from, Irish legends Clannad seem poised to surpass their number of full-length releases. RCA's Best of Clannad: In a Lifetime is a fairly standard overview that touches on fan favorites, collaborations, and songs from films, once again omitting any material from their first four -- largely traditional -- recordings. While this may help with the flow -- it does -- it would be nice to hear the group's shape-shifting styles chronicled more thoroughly. Clannad are at their best when unleashing gargantuan choruses against Moya Brennan's hushed leads, and the inclusion of the beautiful "Newgrange," a mystical ode to one of Britain's famous stone circles, and "Caislean Oir," the leadoff track from the band's excellent 1985 release, Macalla, are prime examples. It's when ...

$11.05
Gaelic Storm sidestepped the fate that awaits most Celtic bands the world over-spending their career playing in pubs-when they appeared in the blockbuster film TITANIC in 1998. Since then their popularity has grown exponentially, and WHAT'S THE RUMPUS?, the group's seventh release, promises to add more fuel to that fire. With the band's usual assortment of unique instruments, including bodhran, fiddle, accordion, mandolin, tin whistle, and ...
| | Roy Harris Bold Sportsmen All CD (1998) (Import) United Kingdom
Celtic Mystery music CDs
$16.99 
Originally released as BOLD SPORTSMEN ALL on Topic Records in 1958 and
An album compiled from three different sources (a 10" LP, an EP, and three songs about highwaymen), with the selections split fairly evenly between MacColl and Lloyd, with one entry from Roy Harris ("The Saucy Bold Robber," following the version set down by Lloyd). The songs touch on gambling, horse racing, soccer (with old favorite "Football Crazy" here in a variant, "Gaelic Football"), highway robbery, boxing, and pool -- though the last is celebrated in "The Govan Pool-Hall Song," which is as much about the rampant thuggery once practiced in the Govan district of Glasgow. A fairly entertaining collection, though more minor in interest ...

| | Blue Note Plays Stevie Wonder CD (2004)
Celtic Mystery CD music
$20.19
It's quite easy to be fooled upon a first glance at the cover, classically designed to emulate the artwork that graced some of the finest albums ever to come from Blue Note. The concept sounds so appealing: a whole album of jazz reinterpretations of the works of Stevie Wonder, easily one of the most important artists in the history of soul music. However, while all of these elements seem so promising, it's what's on the inside that counts, and unfortunately Blue Note Plays Stevie Wonder falls woefully short of its enticing potential. The label's current roster is called upon to select some of Wonder's most important compositions, and many treat them with great reverence, rarely straying from their initial melodies and structures. However, it is this caution that gives the record its greatest fault: keeping the songs pleasant and saccharine-coated, with the majority of the performances bordering on smooth jazz territory (Paul Jackson, Jr.'s "It's a Shame" being the most prominent example). The production is crisp, warm, and polished, ideal for background music in a social setting. The musicianship more often than not is stellar, but nothing is groundbreaking. As a bonus, the man himself shows up for a harmonica solo on Stanley Turrentine's point-for-point rendition of "Boogie On Reggae Woman," and turns in a strong performance. Part of the magic in Wonder's canon ...
