Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem
While it might not do much to dispel the stereotype of the drunken Irishman, this compilation offers some zesty renditions of drinking songs by masters of the form, nicely remastered from the Vanguard vaults. Joined by the likes of Robbie O'Connell and Lou Killen, the Clancy Brothers are in fine, lusty form. Tim Sheridan, All Music Guide

Gaelic Storm
The P.R. copy on the back cover of Gaelic Storm's self-titled 1998 debut credits the band's enthusiasm and verve with landing them the gig that brought them to the attention of mainstream America: their flashy cameo appearance in James Cameron's megablockuster film Titanic. The album does indeed bear out that claim. This foot-tapping collection of ...

Eileen Ivers
Anytime a Celtic folk album includes credits for "beatbox" and "drum loop," it's safe to say that it's not out to please the genre purists, and on Eileen Ivers and Immigrant Soul, it sounds like Ivers has indeed decided to expand her audience from the Riverdance/Green Linnet Records crowd.

The Irish Rovers
The single most popular record that The Irish Rovers ever made, their cover of Shel Silverstein's slyly written "The Unicorn" stands apart from the more straightforward material on this album, which is devoted to good times, family, and religious differences, and other significant elements of Irish song.

This is an excellent sampler that spans Irish legend Planxty's first (and best) four albums. Beginning with "The Jolly Beggar Reel" from the eponymous debut, The Planxty Collection skillfully navigates deft instrumental offerings like "The Hare in the Corn/the Frost Is All Over" and "Denis Murphy's Polka," but spends much of its time displaying ...

On this compilation, Will Millar's singing is alternated with that of the more sober Jimmy Ferguson, who handles ballads. Even on this Irish-themed material, the Irish Rovers are original and of their late-'60s time. "Pat From Mullingar" celebrates a hero of the I.R.A., while "Pennywhistle Peddler" seems to describe a person and a milieu more ...
