CD Reviews
Elders Irish American fun
G. Casey | 09/06/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)
"I love this album. The Elders are great fun live at the hometown (Kansas City) Irish Fest. We listen to the album over and over along with the likes of Young Dubliners, Siucra and the Flogging Mollys. The Elders are just the right mix of Irish traditional and American rock to be a whole lot of fun. You'll sing along with "Packy Go Home" and "Ten pound Earhole," hold your sweetie's hand to "Love of the Century" and dance to "Buzz's Jig" and others...."
Pass It Down by the Elders

"A short review wouldn't be enough to tell you how great this band really is. This CD along with any of their other CD's, of which I also own, will send you dancing on your feet, with no will of your own. A talented group of musicians and songs men, writing original material, with a great ability to tell stories in their music. When you can't see them live, this is the next best thing, they're such an upbeat band; spend the money for this one. You'll enjoy the music, no matter what your musical taste is, and you'll be sure to find a favorite, such as Packy Go Home, Moore St Girls, 1849, the Turning Point and many, many more - enjoy"
