5.0 out of 5 stars Most are live and that's a good thing, December 31, 2001

Some musicians should be hear live and some should not. The Clancy Brothers are one of those rare groups that just need to be heard live (the studio recordings are perfect too so don't get me wrong).

There is such a personability with the Clancy Brothers to their audience. Lot of humor and nice intros to their songs. I agree that this album could have been longer than 30 minutes, but at least it is 30 minutes of very entertaining and popular Clancy Brothers music.

It is very worth the small price you pay. Trust me!

1.0 out of 5 stars CD is too short!!!, May 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Clancy Brothers - Greatest Irish Hits (Audio CD)

Ten songs -- barely 30 minutes on a compact disc that can hold nearly 80 minutes?? What a rip-off. No matter how great the material is (and it's all great here), music buyers should avoid this at all costs. A decent anthology would have AT LEAST 20 songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great buy!, May 11, 2001

This review is from: The Clancy Brothers - Greatest Irish Hits (Audio CD)

The songs on this album are all polished gems, and a good selection of the "best". This is perhaps the most cleanly listenable and universally appealing collection of their songs, and I have found even my non-celtic-music-listening friends enjoy these songs and feel the attraction of these great musicians and style of music on the very first listen. This is really a collection of some of their best-known (and here, best-sung) tunes. It is shorter than many of their other albums, but for the much smaller price, and for these fantastic songs, you can't go wrong.
