Editorial Reviews

The major sporting event of every glorious English summer is undoubtedly "The Ashes", with the ever-improving English cricket team taking on the mighty Australians. To show support for England, here comes the Official Barmy Army Cricket Album - tracks include Dreadlock Holiday by 10CC, Soul Limbo by Booker T & The mgs, Tom Hark by The Piranhas as well as patriotic favourites such as God Save The Queen, Land Of Hope And Glory, The Great Escape and Jerusalem. The album is in conjunction with the Barmy Army who are the world famous English cricket fans who follow the team all over the world with a smile and plenty of songs! There are around 50,000 members andthe Barmy Army do have quite a reputation! Cherry Red. 2006

This review is from: England's Barmy Army: Come on England (Audio CD)

I haven't even heard this "album" yet, but it can only be brilliant not only because I know some of the track titles, but basically because of their (Barmy Army's) cause: The unbridled support of English cricket bad and good. Having said that, it's now England's time for cricket "supremecy" and the Barmy Army may deserve some of the credit with their faithful support through the lean years and in making their support and presence known at every major cricketing nation and ground in the World. After inventing the game in the year dot, England have struggled in the last 20 years to get back into the upper-echelons of World cricket teams. They now rival and will soon supplant Australia (they've had a good run) to be the best cricket team in the World and the stupendous support of the Brit fans, specifically the travelling faithful Barmy Army, is I'm sure captured in this album of Army classics. I can hear it now - committed (maybe they should be) cricket fans singing "Jerusalem" not because they believe in the religion of the Church, but in the religion of Cricket, and the song and the game are both classics - QED. I can't wait to hear it and I can't wait to retire and join the "Army"............6wktmdn
