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," ...

Rant and Roar

Rant and Roar (1998) more music like this

by Great Big Sea

Essentially a compilation for the U.S. market, where the first three albums were unreleased, Rant and Roar samples tracks from the more commercially oriented second and third albums. While some great tracks are missing (notably a few from the first album), the songs included on this collection nevertheless provide a pretty representative and ...

Beautiful Vision

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 ...

Stars: The Best of 1992-2002

Stars: The Best of 1992-2002 (2002) more music like this

by The Cranberries

For the Cranberries, assembling a best-of covering the first decade of their career means compiling their singles in chronological order, which turns out to be a foolproof approach for a band that can be uneven over the course of a full-length album but has always managed to express itself well on the two-to-four catchiest cuts. ("Hollywood" and ...

The Hard and the Easy

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 ...

Poetic Champions Compose

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 ...

Faith and Courage

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 ...

Great Big Sea

Great Big Sea (1992) more music like this

by Great Big Sea

While The Rankin Family may have spurred the interest in Celtic music in Canada, Great Big Sea were the ones to really take the style and run with it, bringing it to a younger audience that previously regarded it as a style more suitable for fishermen and grandparents. This self-titled album is the most traditional of the group's albums, both ...

Live at the Grand Opera House Belfast

Live at the Grand Opera House Belfast (1984) more music like this

by Van Morrison

This is as curious a live album as exists in Van Morrison's voluminous catalog. It's a homecoming record in many ways, since Morrison went back home to live in Ireland shortly after this was released, after many years in the United States. Recorded in 1983 and released on Mercury in 1984, this is, in reality, a solid presentation of his "spiritual ...

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 ...

Rum Sodomy & the Lash (1985) more music like this

by The Pogues

"I saw my task... was to capture them in their delapidated glory before some more professional producer f--ked them up," Elvis Costello wrote of his role behind the controls for the Pogues' second album, Rum Sodomy & the Lash. One spin of the album proves that Costello accomplished his mission; this album captures all the sweat, fire, and angry ...

Magic Time

Magic Time (2005) more music like this

by Van Morrison

Magic Time is one of those rare, intermittent Van Morrison records that consciously offers a bird's eye view of everywhere he's been musically and weaves it all together into a heady brew. The last one was The Healing Game in 1997. He's made fine records since (Down the Road, Back on Top), but they've been focused on whatever Muse was pulling his ...

Dream Harder

Dream Harder (1993) more music like this

by The Waterboys

After two albums of neo-traditional Irish music, Mike Scott brings The Waterboys back to the big rock sound of earlier albums like This is the Sea. Coming after the remarkably accomplished Fishermen's Blues and Room to Roam, Dream Harder is a bit of a disappointment. Its best material doesn't carry the same weight as compositions from Blues -- ...

Red Roses for Me [Bonus Tracks]

Red Roses for Me [Bonus Tracks] (1984) 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 ...

Bury the Hatchet

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 ...

by Great Big Sea

The pride of Newfoundland, Great Big Sea are a great big deal in Canada and as of 1997 have made inroads into pockets of Europe. With their third album, is the time is right to make their presence known elsewhere? Play has all the makings of a breakthrough album. It is superbly produced by Danny Greenspoon, who successfully combines the ...

Red (2000) more music like this

by The Young Dubliners

Why does it seem like every Irish jig that introduces a CD sounds like a selection from Riverdance? With its galloping drumbeat and swift fiddles and acoustic guitar "Bodhran" gets this disc off to a roaring start before the very mainstream pop/rock reveals the truer nature of this band. For a time, aside from a fiddle harmony or solo here, a ...

With All Due Respect: The Irish Sessions (2007) more music like this

by The Young Dubliners

Filled to the to the top of the pint glass with spirited and rousing versions of classic Irish tunes both traditional and contemporary, the Young Dubliners' With All Due Respect feels like a raucous night out with friends. Hastily but immaculately recorded, each cut has an energy that transcends the overall sameness of the production. Like ...

On Anatomic, the Afro Celt Sound System return as a streamlined quartet and to their original name. Following the CD/DVD remix project Pod, this is welcome return to the sound the band initiated on Seed.

This reissue includes ten of the album's original 11 tracks, some of them recorded live and some in the studio, and adds two previously unreleased live performances. The sound is ...

Longtime crowd favorites in their home neighborhood on Chicago's South Side, and with four previous albums under their belt, the Tossers make their debut on the respected Victory imprint with this excellent collection of modern Celtic folk-punk. Their most obvious stylistic referent is the Pogues, whose combination of traditional instrumentation ...
