Customer Rating:      Summary: Love this music, love this band! Comment: Most Gaelic Storm CDs seem to lead off with their best tunes, and this one does just that. I love Punjab Paddy, Born to Be a Bachelor, Pina Colada in a Pint Glass, and really most of this collection of tunes. Highly recommend!
Customer Rating:      Summary: How are we getting home? Comment: I received the cd in a very acceptable timeframe and am more than pleased with the price and quality. Thank You!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Much fun to be had here Comment: If you like the free-wheeling music at a late-night Highland gathering, you're going to love this CD. This is all original Gaelic Storm at their humorous pub band best. I'll mention two of the traditions they flat-out break in this CD. You can listen for the rest--and I'm certain you'll be laughing as hard as my husband and I were when we listened.
So much for the traditional love songs. Check out "Born to be a Bachelor" which almost reminds me of a parody of the old love songs:
Into town on the Saturday night,
All the b'ys go on a spree,
If you come down to the dishco,
You can have a drink with me!
With the ladies on the dance floor,
I'm a wild and crazy guy,
In me white socks and me black suede shoes,
and me thin red leather tie!
They've also warped the idea of good old Erin, when an Irishman goes to India:
I dreamed I got a letter from me darling Josephine,
She asked me would I marry her, back home in Skibbereen,
But the girls out here have almond eyes and jasmine-scented hair,
And there's things in the Kama Sutra that they never do in Clare!
So I'll spend me days relaxing in me Punjab paradise,
No more I'll dig the praties, I'll stick to tea and rice.
I'll be sippin' mango lassi with the lassies in the shade,
While yer man called Ravi Shankar plays "The Boys of the Oul' Brigade!"
The CD is good fun, maybe not their best but worth the price.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Gaelic Storm Trees Comment: I truly enjoyed the cd. I am a great fan of Irish music and this group is one of the best if not the best.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Ok, but not what was expected Comment: I bought this album on a whim. I'd heard a ton of great feedback about this band. I guess I was expecting more interesting and hard hitting music. What I got was much more mellow and boring. It is still a good album, but I think i'll listen to the music next time before I buy another one. I'm sure if you are into Gaelic Storm you'd like this.
