Title: Compelling fun
Product review: The self-confident name character of Bold O'Donohue from the first track of this CD sets the tone. No matter the subject matter, each song is alive with fire and audacity. This is music with roots in rock and celtic tradition.The fine voices of Rob Williams, Terry Casey and Brendan Harkins convey the spirit of the songs. Rob performs an amazing rendition of Good Ship Calabar. The Pogues would be proud of the fury conveyed in Young Ned of the Hill. The lovely "Couldn't Have Come at a Better Time" showcases Terry's vocal talents. The inflection and phrasing that Terry adds to each song gives even old favorites new life.Closing the album is the finest rendition ever heard of Drunken Sailor. Perhaps some may think that is faint praise, no, it is resounding thunderous amazing praise for The Fenians. I have recommended this album to several friends, every friend has listened, loved it and passed the word on to others. You will have FUN.
