5.0 out of 5 stars A Winner., June 24, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Album (Audio CD)

'Tell Me Ma,' the excellent opening track, was a big chart hit for Sham Rock. If you liked that, and enjoy feelgood songs that get you out of your armchair, then this is for you.
Whether it's their own songs or standards like Whiskey In The Jar, Sham Rock do a superb job, often with a completely new feel.
(Like the haunting 'Rock Of Ages' and the traditional Lavenders Blue - given a very clever new sound.)
'Watch Me Now' is a brilliant 'girl power', up tempo, foot-stomper that sounds like a sure fire hit to me.
But, it's not all about big, pop/rock/party songs. There are also some gorgeous ballads too. The album is worth buying just for the beautiful (& beautifully sung) Paul McCartney song 'I'm Carrying'.
For anyone who is bored with albums full of 'filler tracks' you wont be disappointed with this. There is not a 'dud' song on the whole album. A winner !

This is definitely worth adding to any CD collection. A mixed bag full of good all-round songs. A few covers which are given new life, "Whiskey in the Jar" to name one. A McCartney song, "I'm Carrying", which is always a good recommendation, adds credibility to the writers on this CD. However, Sir Paul is in good company as the other writers have also created some excellent new material. The most notable of these is "Watch Me Now", which blew me away. I great example of pop. Something I haven't heard in a while!

Recommendation - Just buy it - you'll love it :-)
