4.0 out of 5 stars Just to Set the Record Straight, October 19, 2010

Nearly all of De Danann's releases are top shelf, and "A Jacket of Batteries" is no exception. I couldn't sit and watch a great album get two stars for a few unthoughtful reviews. This is an album with lively jigs, reels, waltzes, and songs. They always throw one inventive rendition of a pop song in: here it's Eleanor Rigby. Anyway, if you value traditional Irish music, you'll be surprised at the diversity and fun of De Danann's albums. Should you want to collect the whole set, include this one. It is an excellent album.

3.0 out of 5 stars Purchased for One Track, Two Worth While, October 19, 2009

I purchased this for the song, "Mountains of Pomeroy," a soft, thoughtful instrumental. This CD introduced me to vocalist Eleanor Shanley and another song I fell in love with, "The Call and the Answer." The other songs kind of run together after awhile. Other than the two afore mentioned songs, I would not recommend this as being De Danann's best work.

This review is from: Jacket of Batteries (Audio CD)

Another CD from the folks with Restless Leg Syndrom. I had this one and gave it away. It's hard to like a platter with one good song on it, imho
