Editorial Reviews

2008 reissue of the Irish rockers' sophomore album, originally released in 1974. Horslips are a rock group from Dublin, Ireland who have released quite a few well-received Celtic flavored albums in their career. Though their commercial heyday was in the '70s, their legions of fans still shiver at the mention of their name. 13 tracks. Wounded Bird.

This is the original and out of print older version of this album on CD. A nice collectible piece for the Horslips fan that has everything, but for a first time fan I recommend picking up the newer remaster on Demon records which was released under direct supervision by the band after they

reacquired their back catalog.

This album is a great gem that nobody in the US probably heard of. Coming out of Ireland Horslip's third album is an amazing listen that reminds one of Jethro Tull at some points, but pulls away from that idea to create a great concept album. The story is of Irish mythology, one trying to prove they are the richest in the land with a prize bull, or something along those lines, but that's not important. The album pulls you in with a wonderful melding of Irish folk sounds and great rock. The band unfortunatly didn't last very long, and one should consider listening to some of their other work. If your a fan of progressive rock, Jethro Tull, and concept albums, this is highly recommended.
