MUSIC FROM THE HEART NOT THE WALLET

RDF | 04/29/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"In a day when the majority of music is all flash, dazzle and kiddy pop, ROCK OF ERIN is a fine example of music with a meaning, a breath of fresh air you could say. This cd i believe would not only satisfy your irish traditional fan, but also will capture the fan not familiar to the whimes of the emerald isle. And to top it off this cd was created by musicians that are involved, not for the profit but for their love of history and pride in the struggle endured by their ancestors. With such songs like SHADY GROVE a two century old Appalachain folk tune to RODDY McCorley which narrarates the story of a young soldier in the army of KING JAMES who met the foreign invaders led by WILLIAM OF ORANGE to determine the fate of the irish. ROCK OF ERIN offers a wide assortment of long forgotten tunes. If you are looking for something a little of the beaten path with a genuine sound ROCK OF ERIN should fit your need."
