Not the best........2005-03-02

I bought this CD with high hopes. I absolutely loved the first one, the one recorded live. This one was a disappointment though. The guys songs are good and their voices are in good form but it was missing something...feeling, I guess. The live concert version can make me cry and laugh it's so sung with feeling, but this is just singing. I just felt it lacked feeling. I guess that's why I was disappointed with it.

What a magnificent Heritage.......2005-01-22

I highly recommend this album to all fans of Irish music. This is the last album with Ronan as a memember and it is one of their best. Ronan's "I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen" is wonderful, so too is Finbarr's "South of the Border". The theme from the Titanic "My Heart Will Go On" is the best version since Celine Dione's. My favorite track is Anthony's "The West's Awake" . One point to note is that this group is one of the few out there who can perform live with an equally good recorded sound. Having listened to them at Meadowbrook NH the night of Ronan's farewell I can assure you that live or recorded they have a fantastic sound. I highly recommend this CD to all fans of Irish music.

A Review .......2004-10-30

I have never really been a fan of Traditional Irish Music and had never even HEARD of the Irish Tenors....That is until a friend of mine introduced me to the recording of "Live In Belfast" Instantly, I was hooked. I have become addicted to a lot of these songs. Especially the goofier ones they sing. like "Phil the Fluther" and "Courtin in the Kitchen" When Heritage was released I was estatic....As I had loved all the songs they had released before. Even though they recycled some of their songs. I loved the way they re recorded "Red Is The Rose" with Finbar in place of John and also "Fields Of Athenry" I Found this version to be better than the other one. I found it really bizare that they would sing "My Heart Will Go On" as that is not an Irish Song...Ireland was where the Titanic sank. but still. I really enjoyed listening to it. "South of the Boarder" and "Golden Jubilee" along with "Little Brigid Flynn" were quite entertainingly cute. I really enjoyed Anthony's "The West's Awake" and "The Parting Glass" and "The Harp That Once Through Tara's Halls" I would, too also love to see Anthony put out a solo album.

Heritage, The Irish Tenors.......2004-09-30

This is another delightful effort by Anthony, Finbar and Ronan.
My favorite songs were "Off to Philadephia" (Anthony) and "My Heart Will Go On" (Finbar). I didn't even mind the repetition of some songs heard on past CDs - but wondered about it, until I learned of the departure of Ronan Tynan. I am curious to see the kind of arrangements they have included on their new CD, due to come out later this year, which they made upon the return of John McDermott. John is a Canadian of Celtic descent, whose voice, though pleasant in a folksy way, does not seem to blend as well with Anthony and Finbar as did Ronan's trained vocals. I would be very pleased to see Anthony make a solo CD, including such ballads as (my all-time favorite) Bantry Bay and some of the wonderfully playful Irish ditties he sometimes performs at his solo concerts.

Tattered Tenors.......2004-08-20

When the Irish Tenors burst upon the public scene not too many years ago, they were heralded as a refreshing change in the sea of musical mediocrity. The original trio of McDermott, Kearns and Tynan thrilled us with their exuberance and vocal virtuosity and frankly, I miss that. (Please note: since I originally wrote this review the threesome has changed to McDermott, Kearns and Wright with Tynan having left the group).

As one of their latest efforts, "Heritage" is an "okay" album, but it certainly lacks the freshness and fun of the Irish Tenors' earlier efforts. Of course, there are notable exceptions such as Kearns' roguish "Off to Philadelphia", the sprightly "Golden Jubilee" and the beautiful "The West's Awake" solo by Kearns. Wright's "Little Brigid Flynn" is downright fun but his "South of the Border" is oddly out of place. With too many recycled songs and a little too little Anthony Kearns, I personally found "Heritage" to be the weakest effort in the generally stellar Irish Tenors' discography.

Accurate reflection of pub songs.......2007-03-23

We enjoyed the fact that this CD follows the tradition of pub songs and ballads. My husband and I surprisingly liked the ballads as much or more than the pub songs. Only 1 song has tonal quality because the singer forgot the words and the backup musicians don't come through strong enough; but that actually adds character to it since you know it is not being performed in a sterile recording booth somewhere. Enjoyed it!

Something For Everyone -- Great Party CD!.......2006-04-03

I enjoy seasonal music. I love the fact that Music Choice on my cable system has a 'Seasonal Music' channel, because I think that music written for a specific time of year can help people to enjoy the holiday more.

Of course, when you're thinking about enjoying St. Patrick's Day more, people usually think about drinking a lot of green beer. And if you're one of those people, this is the CD compilation for you.

This CD has a lot more contemporary artists than the last Irish CD I reviewed: The Dropkick Murphys and The Pogues stand out in particular. The Clancy Brothers and The Dubliners are also welcome additions to the CD.

There are still the old standbys - Frank Patterson sings the requisite "Danny Boy," The Dubliners contribute the title track "Whiskey In The Jar," and The Clancy Brothers offer up their rendition of the classic "Irish Rover." The Dropkick Murphys' take on "Wild Rover" was a high point for me, as was their "Fields of Athenry" - but then again, I'm a Dropkick Murphys fan anyway.

The songs on this compilation are fun, and singable (even if you can't sing - hey, who cares when you're drunk, right?). In two CDs, the only real disappointments were the two songs from The Pogues, whose live versions of "Dirty Old Town" and "Sally MacLennane" sound as if they were performed while the vocalist was plastered. That fits the theme of the compilation, but makes it tough to listen to. Listen to those two tracks later on in the evening and you'll be fine.

Of the two St. Patrick's Day offerings I was able to review this year, I'd say this one is my favorite. The music is more modern, and the performances more diverse. Plus you get two CDs, so you can listen longer. Enjoy, and Erin Go Bragh!

Nice but disparate (eclectic?) collection.......2006-03-15

The actual title is: "Whiskey In The Jar: Essential Irish Drinking Songs & Sing Alongs."

Amazon has the title reversed (with "Essential Irish Drinking..." first), so a search for "Whiskey In The Jar" won't find it! (ok, maybe it is better to have "Essential Irish Drinking" first).

Also note that a number of songs are "Live" recordings (that's not noted at this time in the Amazon song listing): Disc 1: Tracks 9, 10 & 11; on Disc 2: tracks 10, 14, 16 & 17 (the two Pogues songs on the disc are Live).

All good songs and first rate artists here, but quite a disparate range from very traditional to celtic rock. We used this CD as the basis for a great St. Patrick's day songs playlist for Cool Celtic (Music Sojourn) with similarly eclectic additions. The Pogues, the Young Dubliners, and The Drop Kick Murphys make up most of the more mod sounds on here - too bad that the Pogues version of "Whiskey In The Jar" didn't make it on this CD (it would have provided the same kind of contrast with the Dubliners' version as the rest of the cd does with the mix of artists & songs). At least it progresses through the tunes on each disc from more traditional to more punk - if you're drinking along with the tunes as they play, that ought to work out just about right by the end. This collection may be too eclectic for some. Those looking for the Traditional songs get more for their money here and can ignore the few rockers at the end of each disc. Those into the Pogues and Drop Kick Murphys more rockus sounds may not find enough of that to keep it playing except for around St. Patrick's day each year. However, for that purpose, it does satisfy!

not a strong and deep rock album.......2005-08-18

the songs themselves are good, OK, but the arrangement and the orchastration is not satisfactory. you hear "thin" sounds from the instruments. you cannot feel a depth in the album..

A little rough around the edges.......2001-11-06

Before Jailbreak, Thin Lizzy had already recorded a few albums, but with the exception of that old Irish folk tune "Whiskey In The Jar" (This is where Metallica got the idea for their version)they had found little chart success. This collection shows some of their early promise, and also the roughness that seemed to prevent them from achieving success. With tunes like "The Rocker," "Mama Nature Said," and "Little Darling," you hear the band's hard rock roots, but there are just as many misses, like "Sara," and the unending "Shades of a Blue Orphanage" which is just as pretentious as its title sounds. Fans of the band, who have had difficulty finding the early material, might find this a needed addition to their collection.

Pleasing early compilation.......2001-02-01

This is a surprisingly pleasing compilation. I had spent a number of years searching haphazardly for the three earliest Lizzy LPs, or occasionally finding one or another without buying them, when I stumbled upon this. I was enchanted. At the time (about 5 years ago) I knew a lot of middle period Lizzy, but only the first three songs on this album. It is fun to have them (though I think Sarah trite) but the main joys are numbers such as Black Boys on the Corner, Mama Nature Said and the joyous stomper Little Darling with its ringing brass section.

The songs on this compilation are all, I believe, taken from the first three LPs and represent an overlooked and very valuable aspect of Thin Lizzy's output. Phil Lynott's lyrics range from the absurd(ist?) through corny rock'n'roll (but full of a swaggering joie de vive) to genuine folk poetry. Much the same as one might expect of Van Morrison or Bruce Springsteen.

A genuinely intelligent and valuably unusual compilation.
