4 out of 5 stars Brought Back Memories.......2007-07-13

Lots of great songs, including a few I'd all but forgotten, and a couple good ones I don't think I ever heard before.

5 out of 5 stars On time and in great shape........2007-04-16

My order was on time and in great shape.

4 out of 5 stars A very decent intro for the price.......2005-03-15

First: The correct samples for "All the Best Irish Drinking Songs" (which has a jacket photo of a man & woman drinking in a dim pub) are found under the listing for "The Best of Irish Pub Songs: 20 Great Favorites", which has a jacket illustration of a drawing of a pink pub front called "Dan's Pub"; seems there's some information confusion between the two listings. Where the samples are for the "pink pub" recording are I have no idea.)

I first bought "All the Best Irish Drinking Songs" in cassette years ago to simply learn some pub songs before an Irish vacation. I wasn't looking for classic renditions or sublime technical achievement, just something to teach me the tunes.

For the price, I was very pleasantly surprised. The songs are great, and this assortment is hard to find in one recording. Whether the "pub atmosphere" in the background is contrived or authentic was irrelevant to me; I did feel that it enhanced the listening experience, however, so I think it's a nice touch. If inauthenticity in that kind of thing gets your cockles up, then look to the Clancy Brothers or any other Irish folk legends for "live" concert recordings, or Matt Molloy for an honest-to-gosh pub recording, but you won't find these tunes in one product for any price anywhere else. The only downsides I found with this economic recording were no lyric sheet, and tempos that might vary from "studio" versions of the same songs, but all in all, it's a very enjoyable little tape for a small investment.

1 out of 5 stars Worst Irish CD EVER.......2004-12-14

This is the worst drinking song CD I have ever bought. For the record this is not the Jolly Beggermen in any way. Don't by this if you have a choice. The preformer kills the songs. I agree with the person who says that an Irish Drinking song recording should be done in an Irish Bar or Pub, recorded live.

1 out of 5 stars Not the Same CD as Advertised.......2004-12-08

I bought this cd thinking it was recorded live(as some other reviewers stated) but it wasn't it. I was extremly dissapointed and returned it to Amazon. I would like to know the cd that everyoneis talking about...soiunds like it would be fun to listen to.

3 out of 5 stars Great!.......2007-02-25

This is a great CD for someone looking to introduce themselves to Irish Music. However, for the more hardcore Clancy and Makem fans, this disc offers little in the way of new material. There are a few rare versions of songs that you can't get anywhere else (Rising of the Moon-45 RPM Version?, Valley of Knockanure, Johnson's Motor Car), but most have been released on other CD's or record albums. I wish that Columbia would just rerelease some of the classic WHOLE albums on CD, instead of waisting our time on repackaged items. Overall, a good buy, but don't expect anything new.

4 out of 5 stars WHEN THE HARP WAS CRUSHED BENEATH THE CROWN .......2006-04-18

The following review is being used to comment on several of the Clancy Brothers with Tommy Makem recordings. The obvious musical skills, talent and commitment to craftsmanship of this group during its history need no comment by me. Nor does their commitment to keeping alive the Irish folk tradition. Thus, the criterion for review is whether the works represents the political traditions associated with the historic struggle for independence from the English.

A word. As I developed a quasi- leftist political consciousness in my youth I also, in an unsystematic and for the most part then unconscious manner, developed an interest in what is today is called roots music. Initially this was reflected in my first love-the Blues. During the early sixties, under the influence of Dave Van Ronk at first, then Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie and the rest I developed an interest in folk music, then at the height of its revival. It is through this process that I came to appreciate the work of the artists under review. This is odd, and I will explain why. I was actually reared on the material presented here by my maternal grandfather, a great supporter of the Irish Republican Army. I gained from him my own romantic attachment to the exploits of the IRA in 1916 and beyond until independence. Although my own political evolution since then has led me away from political support to the IRA I still love the old songs which represent the spirit of Irish national identity and aspirations for national liberation historically suppressed by the bloody English.

A word about the songs presented here. The liner notes included with the CD are helpful here. The songs range in subject from `The Rising of the Moon' at the time of Wolfe Tone and the United Irishman, probably the last time that a united, independent, non-sectarian single Irish state was possible, to `Kevin Barry' and `Sean Treacy' just before the partition in 1921, creating the mess that still confronts us politically today. That said, as these lines are being written we are approaching the 90th Anniversary of the Easter Uprising of 1916. The vision that James Connolly and others of a Social Republic proclaimed at the General Post Office still waits. In short, there is still work to be done, North and South, united or as independent states. Listen to these songs to understand where we have come from and why we still need to fight.

3 out of 5 stars It'll do, but when will Sony release a COMPLETE compilation?.......2000-06-19

Yet another compilation from this seminal Irish folk band's extensive catalogue of 1950s and '60s recordings (almost none have been released on disc), this touches on some lesser known songs that still stand up with the group's best work. But Wrap The Green Flag does nothing for fans who want the entire catalogue on CD, or at least a two-disc compilation.

5 out of 5 stars Wrap the Green Flag Wraps our Hearts.......1999-08-12

Wrap the Green Flag features some of the Clancy's unknown great hits like "Fare thee Well Eniskillen" and others. This album features a stirring version of Bold Fenian Men sung by Tom Clancy. This is absolutely a must-have for Irish music fans.

5 out of 5 stars Rousing rebel songs, and a couple of comic and love songs.......1998-11-22

I have almost every recording the CB and TM ever made, so maybe I'm a little prejudiced . It's hard to resist a CD that has the little heard 1920's IRA comic anthem "Johnson's Motor Car," as well as the stirring "Rising of the Moon," "A Nation Once Again," and the title track. Equally great are the comic and fast-paced "New South Wales" and "Galway Races." One of the things I liked best about this CD, though, were the liner notes, which contained a great deal of biographical information about our boys in knitted wool. If you're already a fan, you'll love this combination of songs, and if you're trying to get someone hooked on the group, this is a great CD to get them wanting to listen to more.

      This disc was one of the very first "crossover" albums and one of the most successful as well. Nowadays when projects like this one flood the market, it's easy to forget just how original this program of transcriptions, folksong arrangements, and classical favorites really was. Not only does Galway serve up a wide variety of music in an easy, popular format, but he does it in a way that never compromises his musical integrity and that fully conveys his good humor and sense of fun. Of its type, Annie's Song is a superb compilation and the high point in Galway's discography. --David Hurwitz

      Connecticut-based Green Linnet Records has diligently tended the flame of neo-traditional Celtic music for more than two decades, by far preceding the broad sweep of public acceptance that step-dancing musicals and Enya videos helped generate in the 1990s. While not as vast in scope as the label's 20th Anniversary Collection, Green Linnet's Joyful Noise double-CD package offers a splendid sampler of the cheerier side of the Celtic musical spectrum. Heavy on spirited reels and charming romantic odes, Joyful Noise presents 26 smartly paced tracks from 24 acts (including two each from Altan and Relativity) that nicely showcase the heart-lifting, toe-twitching allure of traditional Irish and Scottish instrumentation and vocals framed in contemporary settings. Tracks of special merit include Patrick Street's percolating, pulsating instrumental for guitar and accordion, "Music for a Found Harmonium," the Celtic bluegrass of Jerry O'Sullivan's "The Chorus Reel/Asmolean House," and the clever wordplay of Andy Stewart's Manus Lunny's "Take Her in Your Arms." A winning compilation, ideal for Green Linnet newcomers. --Terry Wood

      5 out of 5 stars The Title Says it All.......2007-05-08

      A real musical treat and one of my all time favorites. Great Celtic classics sung with modern sensibilities. Whether you are looking for an introduction to this great musical tradition or are adding to your collection, this one is not to be missed.

      4 out of 5 stars A fine compilation of Celtic music.......2000-03-14

      This is a delightful collection, a "who's who" in the world of modern Celtic music, and a great place to get started if you're curious about this kind of music. Green Linnet has made sure that the liner notes contain everything you will need to know if you choose to follow up on the music you hear and want to get the titles these pieces came from. I heard Joanie Madden's "Hyne's March" medley on Netradio and it sold me right there: it is truly "joyful noise." My only regret is they don't contain lyrics! Hey, get with it, Green Linnet!

      5 out of 5 stars Makes You Wish Every Day Was St. Patrick's Day.......2000-03-06

      It wasn't until after I got out of college that I paid much attention to musical genres outside rock 'n' roll. However, during the past twenty five years (as my finances permitted) I began a musical journey which lead me to discover blues, jazz, classical, country, and during the late seventies and early eighties I became fascinated by Celtic music. My favorite artists were the Bothy Band, the Tannahill Weavers, the Battlefield Band, Planxty and Silly Wizard. My collection quickly grew to nearly a hundred titles--all on vinyl.

      The CD age has forced me to siwtch formats, but budget restraints prohibit my replacing all of my vinyl LPs with CDs. That's what is so great about this collection. For $13, I get nearly two hours of terrific music by a broad spectrum of the Green Linnet roster. You get the whole gamut of the Celtic experience: ballads, airs, jigs and reels.

      This is guaranteed to liven any St. Patrick's Day celebration (and every other day of the year), and if this collection leaves you wanting more, for another $13 you can also get Green Linnet Records "The Twentieth Anniversary Collection." Four hours of Celtic music bliss for under $30--you can't afford not to get these. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

      5 out of 5 stars Warning, This CD is contagious!!!.......1999-02-21

      I have enjoyed the music of the Chieftians for years and I wanted to branch out to other Celtic groups. There are so many groups out there and most record store employee don't know the first thing about Celtic music. I didn't want to risk buying a CD and not like it. So, I picked this Double CD up and I haven't been able put it down in weeks. It is a Best Of...(if you will) from Green Linnet Records. Check out Patrick Street, Seamus Egan, Jerry O'Sullican, Kevin Burke, Andy M. Stewart and Altan. All great songs, all great musicians. This is a must for anyone who loves music in general.

      4 out of 5 stars "It's A Great Day For The Irish".............2004-01-27

      "All The Best From Ireland" is a fun, charming and sentimental way to get into the St. Patrick's Day spirit.It's a great mix and fabulous compilation of 20 tracks ranging from spirited numbers that will get your toes to tappin and feet to flying, to sentimental favorites, that you might want to raise a glass to or may even bring a tear to your eye.

      Even if you are not Irish, you'll find this to be full of very recognizable and much loved tunes to sing along with or dance to. Included you will find "Danny Boy", "It's A Great Day For The Irish", "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling", "I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen","If You're Irish Come Into The Parlour", and "Wearin O' The Green"(see track listings for complete list).

      With 20 tracks,you'll have enough selection for an entertaining St. Patrick's Day gathering, that can be listened to several times without getting too repetitive. The total time runs about 40-45 minutes.My review is of the audio tape but it is also available on CD.

      The music and the vocals are really nice, unfortunately there is no info on the artists. This recording by Madacy is not exactly top of the line, but the music is so charming and so much fun to listen to I hardly noticed, and for the price you can hardly go wrong.

      For St. Patricks's Day, or if you just love these favorite Irish tunes, check this one out and maybe a little o' the luck will come your way!...and enjoy...Laurie

          4 out of 5 stars Good choice of tunes and songs.......2005-09-11

          It is a good choice of Irish tunes and songs. The Sean O'Neill Band is doing a good job. In listening this CD, I am sure that you will remember many songs or tunes that you have heard when you were just a kid. It is a good CD at an affordable price.

          5 out of 5 stars This CD is great!.......2001-11-25

          I bought this CD for myself, but now, every time we get in the car, the kids are begging for me to put it on for them. They even know most of the words now.
