by
The Chieftains
With Long Black Veil, the Chieftains attempted a mainstream pop crossover by recording with rock and pop stars from the Rolling Stones and Sting to Van Morrison and Sinéad O'Connor. Instead of changing their sound to accommodate the talents of their guests, the band plays it straight. As always, their performance is superb; what is surprising is ...

Greg Brown
Greg Brown built his rep as one of the mover and shakers on the contemporary folk scene with his detailed writing and deep baritone. Honey in the Lion's Head takes a detour from his usual fare by delving into a dozen traditional songs from "Old Smokey" to "Railroad Bill." The arrangements, with an exception or two, are straightforward enough. A ...

by
The Chieftains
In the Chieftains' four decades of recording, they've changed labels a handful of times, and each label has seen fit to record at least one or two collections of the band's output under their tenure. At this point they have so many best-ofs and greatest-hits compilations, it's tough for the listener to know the best of what they're actually ...

The Dubliners
Legacy's The Best of the Dubliners: Irish Favorites is a sparse but fairly typical "best-of" set from the legendary Irish folk outfit. Dubliners classics like "Off to Dublin in the Green," "Donegal Reel/The Longford Collector," "Holy Ground," and "The Foggy Dew" sound good no matter where they appear, but there are far better compilations out ...

by
Burl Ives
MCA/Decca's full-priced 18-track Burl Ives collection Greatest Hits, released in 1996, was still in print when the label issued this 12-track budget set five years later, so it's worth comparing the two. The less-expensive album actually contains a couple of big hits -- Ives' Top 40 pop/Top Ten country cover of Hank Thompson's "Wild Side of Life" ...

The Charles River Valley Boys
One has the tendency to relate certain types of music to certain record labels. Prestige, for instance, is known for its jazz roster. It comes as a surprise, then, to the post-millennium listener when the label reissues roots music recorded during the 1960s. But it shouldn't. Once upon a time, Prestige worked side-by-side with Vanguard and ...

This is the debut by traditional folk singer Karie Oberg. With a preference for Irish folk music and her strong voice, comparison's with Maura O'Connell spring to mind. While passion and soul is evident in Oberg's voice, she unfortunately lacks the enunciation and phrasing of noted folk singers like O'Connell and Mary Black. Hard Times, splendidly ...

In a rare instance of Tommy Makem stepping away from the Clancy Brothers, this set had him collaborating with guitarist and banjo player Eric Weissberg to good effect. The sparse arrangements help to bring out the qualities of the tunes themselves, with some of the traditional songs getting very dramatic readings. It remains a shame that Makem did ...
