Remember the music that was playing during the steerage party in Titanic? That was Gaelic Storm, who on their self-titled debut present an engaging mix of traditional music, dance music, and songs, all performed with energy and enthusiasm. The album opens with "Hills of Connemara," a fast-paced tune with a long instrumental section before the vocals begin, thus giving you a taste of the considerable musical talent present in this group. "Bonnie Ship the Diamond/Tamlinn" is a fast, almost breathless piece with plenty of dramatic phrasing, while "The Farmer's Frolic" has a swinging shuffle feel. Particularly engaging are the strongly rhythmic "Rocky Road to Dublin/Kid on the Mountain" and the energetic closer "The Road to Liskeard," but it's all strong material that reminds one at times of early Chieftains recordings. --Genevieve Williams

 Bet you can't sit still! February 27, 2010
M. Allen
Their music draws you in and you cannot resist singing along, tapping a toe, lifting a pint. Their instrumental musicianship is fantastic. Although I had all the other CD's by Gaelic Storm, I found this one, like the others, earned high marks and I can listen to it over and over.
Great band, Great Music February 28, 2008
Peter Larson (Connecticut, USA)
This is a fantastic irish band that knows their genre, from slow, beautiful folk tunes to high energy fiddle thrashing and funny lyrics. They are, by far, my favorite Irish or Gaelic band.

I enthusiastically bought this CD, looking for a well-rounded Irish band. This isn't it! I was SOOOOO disappointed. Basically, there are two songs on the CD--one with words and one instrumental. All the instrumentals sound so similar as to be almost indistinguishable. I put the CD back for sale on Amazon. Guess I'll get another Corrs. Can't go wrong there!
very cool irish music January 23, 2007

If you wanna get into irish music, this is a great place to start. They really capture the energy and the irish, dancin' joy of life, you can almost be in the pub. One of the more excellent traditionally celtic bands, of today.

I bought this CD after returning from a vacation to Ireland in Aug. It definitely reminds me of a great trip. I only wish I had the talent to join in one of the music seisiuns that you find in every Irish pub (the musicians never buy their own Guinness!).
