"The Young Dubliners was formed in 1988 by two young Dubliners, then living in Santa Monica, California. Their sound is a fusion of pop music and traditional Irish music, which really rocks. With All Due Respect is the bands latest release, and their sound has really come together great.
I found this to be a great album, a really good Irish mix, with I'll Tell Me Ma being my absolute favorite. So, if you like Irish music, and want to hear it with a distinctly modern twist, then get this album. I highly recommend it!"
With All Due Respect, The Irish Sessions

"I saw the Young Dubs a month or so ago on a whim. They were playing a show by my house and decided to just go check them out.
I really like this band, they are a lot along the lines of Blood Or Whiskey but a bit less rough sounding vocally.
With All Due Respect, The Irish Sessions is a very good album. You get some Pogues covers along with a lot of traditional Irish songs but with thier own style melded into it all.
I really like their rendition of If I fall from the Grace of God (Pogues), the Young Dubs added thier own little hook into it which just makes it really pop.
This is a good album, if you like The Pogues, Blood or Whiskey, ect you will very much enjoy this album."
