Synopsis

Album Description

Ireland is rich in a musical history that goes back hundreds of years. Before even many of the great Irish fiddle tunes gained their popularity, the Irish were singing songs themselves. Songs of of Ireland is a new exploration of the Irish songs by the Brobdingnagian Bards. On this packed, 19 song CD, you will hear the joy and sorrow of the Irish and Irish Americans in an hour of great music that is perfect for St. Patricks' Day and quickly come to understand why The Bards are considered "masters of the traditional folk".

CD Reviews

Songs of Ireland

Judy L. Hamm | 03/17/2006

(2 out of 5 stars)

"Was disappointed. Singer over-powered the accompanying music rather than blending with it. Singing voice was not that good. Have heard much better Irish singers. Would not purchase Brobdignagain Bards again."

"I wanted some authentic Irish folk songs for my elementary music classes. Only two or three titles from this CD will be useful. I was disappointed. However, I did like some of the accompaniments."

Blessed are the Irish

"This cd makes me wish I was Irish...I raise a glass in toast to this cd.From traditional Irish songs like"Danny Boy","An Irish Lullaby"&"Rocky Road to Dublin"to traditional Irish drinking songs,such as "Finnigan"s Wake"&"Jug of Punch".From the comical to the more heart felt,this cd has it all.You may not be Irish,but you'll be singing along with the songs like you were.One of the best Irish cd's I've ever heard."
