CD ReviewsLove the Dead and Celtic music all rolled into one! Terry B | SF Bay Area, California | 03/09/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "I have heard cuts from this album on my local Pacifica radio station for several years and finally decided to track it down. I think you may need to already be a fan of Celtic music in order to enjoy this interesting and creative blend of music but I don't think you have to be a fan of the Grateful Dead to "get" it. The Celtic musicians are some of the best around, each adding their mastery to the romantic tunes which blend old traditional tunes with Dead songs.
I have listened to the lead singer, Danny Carnahan, many times in person and I love how his gentle voice and the lilting arrangements bring out the beauty in Grateful Dead songs that don't always translate so well in live concert recordings. An extra bonus is finally understanding the lyrics to Dead songs I have heard many times!" |
