5.0 out of 5 stars A rousing blend of celtic and rock from a fresh young band!, November 10, 1999

By A Customer

I saw Tarras in concert last night at a small club in Lancaster, Pa., and was overwhelmed by their musicianship, their songwriting ability, and their overall chops. Bought their CD and played it on the way home, and it wasn't a disappointment. The album is full of great songs and tunes, with a sophistication that belies their average age of 21 years. Their onstage personalities come through beautifully in the CD. If this band plays near you, go see them -- and be sure to get this CD. Tarras is a young band with the talent to go places fast.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very enjoyable CD, December 29, 1999

By A Customer

Buy this CD if you never thought you'd like "Celtic" type music. I bought this on a whim and still know nothing about the group other than what is on the CD and the other comments posted here, but it is a wonderful mix of melodic, hummable, danceable and kind of folksy music. Note that most songs are instrumentals which I like since I find most lyrics insipid, but even those with lyrics like "whiskey town" are very enjoyable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweeet, April 18, 2001

By	PMMartin (London) - See all my reviews

Got this album during Tarras' second US tour last year. Was a little dissapointed that some of the stuff they played on stage wasn't on it, but was assured after the show (they're also real nice to meet too) that their second album will be out later this year. Hurrah ! Anyways, glorious celtic sounds fused with blues, dancey groove, and a splash of ethinic (african ?) sounds. Wickid live, Tarras in the studio do not lose their high-energy folk-driven sound. A must for all serious music fans. Buy it now !
