5.0 out of 5 stars never leaves my CD player, September 10, 1999

All the Old Blind Dogs' albums are worth listening to--and having for your own. Not one has failed me yet. They have just the right combination of tradition and innovation, otherworldliness and jauntiness... I could go on, but if you know them you'll know what I mean. Sadly the lead vocalist Ian will be retiring soon, but we hope for a new voice just as engaging. I don't get too excited about bands, but this one I heartily reccomend.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the CD that got me interested in Celtic music, November 26, 1998

I bought this CD years ago at the suggestion of a friend who knows Celtic music, and it remains my favorite. The more I listen to it, the more I love every tune. The songs, sung by Ian Benzie, caught my attention first, but I soon became just as captivated by the other tunes. I can't recommend this CD highly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars We wore out the CD!, October 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Close to the Bone (Audio CD)

Seriously. They say that CDs are supposed to be indestructable (under normal conditions, of course) but we really did wear this one out, we listened to it so much. There is simply no better band at combining the traditional with the modern and giving everything they do a punch. Buy it and you won't regret it... until you wear it out and have to buy another one!
