Was disappointed. Singer over-powered the accompanying music rather than blending with it. Singing voice was not that good. Have heard much better Irish singers. Would not purchase Brobdignagain Bards again.

I can't if these songs are traditional or not but they are realistic in a metaphorical sense. I would say that each song has something to teach whether one drinks or not. The lead's voice may be a bit overpowering but I'm sure it is supposed to. Songs of old told a story and the voice and understanding it is the most important aspect of the song.

I wanted some authentic Irish folk songs for my elementary music classes. Only two or three titles from this CD will be useful. I was disappointed. However, I did like some of the accompaniments.

This cd makes me wish I was Irish...I raise a glass in toast to this cd.From traditional Irish songs like"Danny Boy","An Irish Lullaby"&"Rocky Road to Dublin"to traditional Irish drinking songs,such as "Finnigan"s Wake"&"Jug of Punch".From the comical to the more heart felt,this cd has it all.You may not be Irish,but you'll be singing along with the songs like you were.One of the best Irish cd's I've ever heard.

on St Patrick's Day, or so the say goes, but this CD reaches out to the Irish in us all no matter what time of the year it is. There's some funny songs like "Lannigan's Ball" or "Finnegan's Wake" and then there are the ballads such as "Irish Lullaby" and "Danny Boy". This is a CD for everyone from baby to great grandma, whether Irish or not.

I dont have a drop of Irish blood in me, but you'd never know it from the way I go around singing lyrics from Songs of Ireland. This is a great album that has a nice mix of funny and serious Bard tunes on it. It seems like every time I listen to this CD i find something new to like about at least one of the songs. Highly recommended!

A dreadful selection of material designed to appeal to third/fourth generation Irish in USA, preferably wearing leprechaun hats and swilling warm Guinness. Hopefully won't be heard in Ireland.
