Vintage Billboard review from 1969.......2007-04-08

One of the joys of this Christmas album is the choice of selections tailored to the Clancys rousing folk style. Most of the songs are traditional folk songs that sound fine because they have not been overexposed like so much Christmas material is. Amongst the highlights are "When Joseph Was as Old Man," "Christmas in Carrick," "The Wren Song", and "Curoo Curoo." Bobby Clancy joins his three brothers in this LP, and the Clancys retain their distinctive and delightful musical sound.

A Rollicking Irish Christmas To You.......2005-12-02

I've always enjoyed the Clancy Brothers traditional tunes and was glad to see they had a Christmas collection.
They put their own special spin on Jingle Bells, Silent Night and other holiday standards. The ones less familiar like Christmas in Carrick and Curoo, Curoo are refreshing. This makes a nice change from hearing "101 Strings Playing Christmas Tunes Until You Are Sick of Them."

The greatest Irish Christmas album ever!.......2003-12-12

My father bought this album when it was first released back in the 1960s and it graced our turntable every Christmas since. I cannot think about Christmas without this album and I will pass it on to my children as well. The CD re-release is excellent and has liner notes by famed Philadelphia musical historian Paddy Maloney.

This album deftly combines more familiar works such as "Silent Night" and "Angels We Have Heard on High" with lesser know Celtic and Appalachian traditional pieces such as "Curoo, Curoo" and "Lovely Far Off City". There are also some rousing Irish renditions of Jingle Bells (in gaelic) and The Wren Song that will get the Guinness flowing and the feet dancing.

Overall, this is a brilliant blend of ethereal and rowdy, familiar and new. It will make a fine addition to any Irish/Celtic music fans collection (or anybody looking for an alternative to the bland contemporary holiday music).

Hard to find, worth looking for in holiday bargain bins..........2004-12-17

The CD version of this '60's LP was released ten years ago in limited quantity, so it is rare to come across it now. While the program is short, there is a nice variety of Irish-flavored carols and Yuletide ditties on here. Fast songs, slow ones, moments of beauty and even of weirdness. I love "Angels We Have Heard on High" but all of the tracks are well-done. I found my copy in a music store bargain bin five Decembers ago for a few bucks. May you be so lucky, and may the road rise with you and lead you to the Clancy's sounds this season.

It's fun. It's pretty. It's a little bit strange........2004-01-09

The disc opens with the excellent rollicking Irish version of "Jingle Bells (Buala Bas)", and also features a great Christmas drinking song, "Christmas in Carrick". It closes with the unusual "Wren Song" traditionally sung by "wren boys" going door-to-door with a dead wren on St. Stephens Day and begging for money to bury the bird. Most of the other songs are more solemn, religious Christmas carols done in the Clancy Brothers Celtic-folk stlye. But there is one strikingly strange song in the middle of the disc that you might not notice if you don't pay attention to the words of "When Joseph was An Old Man". Upon closer review, you find a song about Mary breaking the news of her pregnancy to Joseph, who then refuses to pick cherries for her from a tree, saying that the father of the baby should do it, only to have Jesus command (from within Mary's womb!) the tree to bow down and give cherries to Mary. They don't write 'em like that anymore.

A good Christmas recording with a few great tracks.......2002-11-18

This is a good recording with a few terrific highlights. It gets off to a rollicking good start with a very upbeat "Jingle Bells" sung in Gaelic and flavored with a bit of banjo picking between verses. The ballad "Curoo, Curoo" is supremely lovely as it paints a picture of all of nature standing still and watching the greatest event in history: the birth of the Son of God. Then, it ends on another upbeat note with "The Wren Song." The rest of the songs are done well and respectfully, but these three were the true highlights and the ones which I enjoy playing again and again.

"When candles a glow in the windows, strangers greet you as you pass, brandy & old Ale and who could forget whine & Brourben whiskey, who really cares if we're poor tommorow. Now is the time of year to share good cheer. Christmas comes but once a year." Th'm some golden words for a proper YULEtide to be. This disc over flows with folky bar~room banter with a Brother There Art Thou fun flavors with worldly Celtic twists n' tweaks. Just what the Doctor decrees to blow out any Bahhumbugs bother'n ya' fo sure... For me this disc, stirs sweet memories of Beaver Island and those whom share in certain simple unquieness seldom appricaited today, yet like always cherised by those who kNOw it best.~~~Merrily Mix~ 1#1\2, 2#, 3#1\2, 5#1\2, 7#, 11#1\2, and 11$ ~~~ Post Script: "Bottles of whiskey...Bottles of beer...We wish you a Happy New Year." Who really cares if the running time is under an 1\2 hour, when any Seeker can get this ticket and Treasure a transporation back in time to a place rare indeed. Rest Well,Mitch ***buyit*saveit*sharemost*giveit**** YULEridGEMality Factor = 7 ???
