The great Celtic/Irish folk song groups are aging and what is left in their place are a bunch of pretty boys/girls who can't sing but present themselves really well. This is not the case with the High Kings they can present themselves really well and sing at the same time. It doesn't matter that we have all heard Rocky Road to Dublin and Beggerman before sprint and energy count for a lot and you really get it with these guys.
An excellent production The High Kings. The group does an excellent job of harmonizing and enunciating the lyrics.
How do they manage classic and authentic and not be boring. But I am SOOO glad I got it. It's full of flavor and feeling and none of it is boring or grey. Totally boring. PLEASE make more SOON. But this is bright and fun and deep and moving and loud and tough. So much "folk" music ends up sounding like drunk hippies. I listen to it everday and I never get bored with it, and that's saying a lot for someone with so short an attention span.
I love it. I took a chance buying this, I couldn't download any of the song files. Honestly, I listen to this and The Rogues in the gym (5am).and I have all the energy I need, even after being up with my 3 punkins all night. we are HUNGRY for MORE.
Our whole family sings along (LOUDLY) with this CD. We love it -especially "The Rocky Road to Dublin", "Marie's Wedding", "The Black Velvet Band" and my favorite "Go, Lassie, Go".
Don't pass this one by. If you enjoy Celtic music, this is a must. Product was just as described by the vendor and shipping was without problems. Some good old standards done with humor, gusto and haunting harmonies. It's a "must have" if only for the rendition of "The Parting Glass". Be sure and check out the DVD version as well. There are always treats that are missed on the CD alone.
