I've got to see this group live

"Does this crew ever sound like they are having FUN! They're loud, proud, Boston Irish boys and it's St. Patrick's Day. They might only be happier if they won the Power Ball.
The DKM is not precisely the usual Celtic music I review. This is Celtic PUNK. Loud and proud is just the start. Definitely not your quiet, contemplative "Celtic Moods" CD.
The DKM definitely gives you more bang for your buck. In these days of 99 cents per tune downloads, this CD is 25 songs long with plenty of time to enjoy the concert.
On the other hand, if you really want to ROCK, bring it on. Favorites:
"Fortunate Son" this is a cover of the CCR song. You just thought CCR could rock.
"Rocky Road to Dublin" okay, my favorite cover of this is still on the Chieftains' "Long Black Veil" CD--you can tell the Chieftains and the Rolling Stones really did not want that session to end, but this is pretty darn good, too.
"Amazing Grace" okay, I love about every version of this song I hear. Here it is, more traditional than most of the songs on this CD, complete with bagpipes and audience participation in the intro. Wait til you get to the body of the song!
