The Best of Van Morrison [Mercury]

The Best of Van Morrison [Mercury] (1990) more music like this

by Van Morrison

For an artist who's doggedly album-oriented, plus a songwriter who revels in subtlety, Van Morrison doesn't seem like a logical candidate for a successful greatest-hits compilation. Nevertheless, The Best of Van Morrison is a crackerjack compilation, tracing Van the Man from his days with Them, through his best-known tunes ("Brown-Eyed Girl," ...

Turn

Turn (2000) more music like this

by Great Big Sea

Turn is Great Big Sea's third major label release, and the band's third one-word titled CD (following 1995's Up and 1997's Play). Along with the similarity of titles there is a similarity of music. This CD differs very little from the group's past releases. Great Big Sea continues to produce energetic, rock-flavored Celtic music, almost a cross ...

Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?

Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? (1993) more music like this

by The Cranberries

Title aside, what the Cranberries were doing wasn't that common at the time, at least in mainstream pop terms; grunge and G-funk had done their respective big splashes via Nirvana and Dr. Dre when Everybody came out first in the U.K. and then in America some months later. Lead guitarist Noel Hogan is in many ways the true center of the band at ...

The Ultimate Collection (2005) more music like this

by The Pogues

For those who only know the Pogues from their duet Christmas hit with Kirsty MacColl, "Fairytale of New York," or don't know anything about the Irish group at all, this album was an excellent place to start. Featuring 23 tracks spread across their albums -- with three tracks from Red Roses for Me, eight from Rum Sodomy & the Lash, five from If I ...

Very Best of the Pogues

Very Best of the Pogues (2001) more music like this

by The Pogues

There's little question that the Pogues were a seminal band, blessed with great musicians, led by Shane MacGowan, a songwriter of major vision and talent. This was apparent on their initial Stiff singles but it truly blazed on their debut, Rum Sodomy & the Lash, an album that artfully walked the razor's edge between Irish traditionalism and ...

Red Roses for Me [Bonus Tracks]

Red Roses for Me [Bonus Tracks] (2005) more music like this

by The Pogues

What set the Pogues apart from any number of other energetic Irish traditional bands was the sheer physical force of their performances, the punky swagger of their personalities, and Shane MacGowan's considerable gifts as a songwriter. Unfortunately, none of these qualities comes through very clearly on their first album, Red Roses for Me. While ...

If I Should Fall from Grace with God [Bonus Track] (2006) more music like this

by The Pogues

If Rum Sodomy & the Lash captured the Pogues on plastic in all their rough-and-tumble glory, If I Should Fall from Grace with God proved they could learn the rudiments of proper record making and still come up with an album that captured all the sharp edges of their musical personality. Producer Steve Lillywhite imposed a more disciplined approach ...

Yours Truly (2006) more music like this

by Natalie MacMaster

Canadian superstar fiddler and dancer Natalie MacMaster's tenth full-length recording doesn't deviate much from her usual formula, but considering the fact that her "usual formula" consists of filtering traditional Celtic music through the open-ended sieves of jazz, rock, country and Latin, the results are far from predictable. MacMaster is a ...

Up (1996) more music like this

by Great Big Sea

Although Great Big Sea initially started out as a fairly traditional Newfoundland outfit, Up shows the band adding more rock muscle to the fiddles and accordions. It's still a pretty traditional sound by most standards, with jigs and reels galore, but it allows the band to do a revved-up cover of Slade's "Run Runaway" and make it appealing to both ...

Bury the Hatchet (1999) more music like this

by The Cranberries

The Cranberries stumbled with their move toward heavier, politically fueled modern rock on To the Faithful Departed, losing fans enamored with their earlier sound. Like many groups that see their stardom fading, the band decided to return after a short hiatus with a mildly updated, immaculately constructed distillation of everything that earned ...

Fisherman's Blues (1988) more music like this

by The Waterboys

Mike Scott had been pursuing his grandiose "big music" since he founded the Waterboys, so it came as a shock when he scaled back the group's sound for the Irish and English folk of Fisherman's Blues. Although the arena-rock influences have been toned down, Scott's vision is no less sweeping or romantic, making even the simplest songs on Fisherman ...

Songs from the Rain (1993) more music like this

by Hothouse Flowers

With their third album, Songs from the Rain, Hothouse Flowers stepped away from their more anthemic tendencies, creating their quietest record yet. Although their devotion to Van Morrison, Bruce Springsteen, and U2 is still apparent, their influences are beginning to blend together. While Songs From the Rain is the band's most musically diverse ...

Poetic Champions Compose (1987) more music like this

by Van Morrison

If the title didn't tip you off, the opening five-minute jazz instrumental "Spanish Steps" certainly reveals that Poetic Champions Compose is an art record. Of course, Van Morrison has been making art records since at least Inarticulate Speech of the Heart, perhaps Common One, so that shouldn't come as a surprise. What is a bit of a shock is that ...

Beautiful Vision (1982) more music like this

by Van Morrison

Beautiful Vision shares much sonically with its predecessor, Common One, being heavy on long, winding song-poems, moderate tempos, dense lyricism, and dated production. Still, this winds up being a stronger articulation of what Morrison was attempting to do on Common One -- much like how Wavelength got A Period of Transition right. That doesn't ...

Faith and Courage (2000) more music like this

by Sinéad O'Connor

Sinéad OConnor will not be taken in the midst of headlining controversy. She was informerly appointed a Catholic priest in 1998, soon after her traumatic scenes of attempted suicide and custody battles over her daughter, Roisin. Former colleague and friend, ex-Pogues frontman Shane McGowan lashed back at OConnor after she publicly criticized his ...

Fire of Freedom (1993) more music like this

by Black 47

The basic ingredients are one part street-wise, horn-driven New Jersey rock a la early-Springsteen / Southside Johnny, and one part ethnic Irish pop in the spirit of Dexy's Midnight Runners. Where the mind boggles is when New York City's Black 47 (the peak year of the Irish Potato Famine) also manages to incorporate reggae ("Fire Of Freedom"), ...

Wake Up and Smell the Coffee (2001) more music like this

by The Cranberries

The second half of the '90s was difficult for the Cranberries, not just because of changing fashions, but because the group embraced both a social consciousness and a prog rock infatuation, crystallized by the Storm Thorgerson cover of Bury the Hatchet. Thorgerson has been retained for their fifth effort, Wake Up and Smell the Coffee, but the ...

The Hard and the Easy (2005) more music like this

by Great Big Sea

If you think you've figured out Great Big Sea's formula, you're right: take sea shanties, fishing songs, and the odd original tune that sounds like a folk song and deliver them all with lusty energy on acoustic instruments. If the Pogues had come from Newfoundland and treated alcohol as a peripheral rather than a central concern, and if their ...

Peace and Love [Bonus Tracks] (2005) more music like this

by The Pogues

Shane MacGowan's potent appetite for alcohol was evident from the time the Pogues cut their first album, but by the time they got to work on Peace and Love in 1989, it was evident that he'd gone far past the point of enjoying a few pints (or many pints) and had sunk deep into drug and alcohol dependence. The Pogues were always far more than just ...

Following the CD/DVD remix project Pod, this is welcome return to the sound the band initiated on Seed. This is a group whose members no longer care about programming as their primary function, but instead work together -- writing, performing, and ...

The Rest of the Best (1994) more music like this

by The Pogues

The Rest of the Best is a solid sampling of the Pogues' output up to 1994, even when one considers that the collection in a way amounts to the second best-of, since The Best of the Pogues was released less than a year before this collection. Though the album suffers from a sequencing problem, with three of its strongest songs out of the way right ...

In an effort to prove that Grateful Dead material can work in almost any context, Wake the Dead (good name) show how the songs might have been performed if Garcia and Co. had come from Ireland instead of California. While the idea sounds like one of those ridiculously cute concepts, it actually works, in part because these guys can play, and ...
