Customer Reviews:

A very decent intro for the price.......2005-03-15

First: The correct samples for "All the Best Irish Drinking Songs" (which has a jacket photo of a man & woman drinking in a dim pub) are found under the listing for "The Best of Irish Pub Songs: 20 Great Favorites", which has a jacket illustration of a drawing of a pink pub front called "Dan's Pub"; seems there's some information confusion between the two listings. Where the samples are for the "pink pub" recording are I have no idea.)

I first bought "All the Best Irish Drinking Songs" in cassette years ago to simply learn some pub songs before an Irish vacation. I wasn't looking for classic renditions or sublime technical achievement, just something to teach me the tunes.

For the price, I was very pleasantly surprised. The songs are great, and this assortment is hard to find in one recording. Whether the "pub atmosphere" in the background is contrived or authentic was irrelevant to me; I did feel that it enhanced the listening experience, however, so I think it's a nice touch. If inauthenticity in that kind of thing gets your cockles up, then look to the Clancy Brothers or any other Irish folk legends for "live" concert recordings, or Matt Molloy for an honest-to-gosh pub recording, but you won't find these tunes in one product for any price anywhere else. The only downsides I found with this economic recording were no lyric sheet, and tempos that might vary from "studio" versions of the same songs, but all in all, it's a very enjoyable little tape for a small investment.

Worst Irish CD EVER.......2004-12-14

This is the worst drinking song CD I have ever bought. For the record this is not the Jolly Beggermen in any way. Don't by this if you have a choice. The preformer kills the songs. I agree with the person who says that an Irish Drinking song recording should be done in an Irish Bar or Pub, recorded live.

Not the Same CD as Advertised.......2004-12-08

I bought this cd thinking it was recorded live(as some other reviewers stated) but it wasn't it. I was extremly dissapointed and returned it to Amazon. I would like to know the cd that everyoneis talking about...soiunds like it would be fun to listen to.

A bit disappointing.......2004-07-07

I enjoyed most of this CD ("Lanigan's Ball" and "Goodbye Muirsheen Durkin," in particular), but some of it I found a bit lacking. The singer on Rocky Road To Dublin (and would you PLEASE credit the singers???) bit off the first word of almost every line, and I wasn't crazy about their arrangement of "Finnegan's Wake" (which, for my money, belongs for all time to the Clancy Brothers). With those couple of quibbles, an otherwise enjoyable CD.

good but not samples above are not for this CD.......2003-07-03

The CD is very very good but the samples above are not for this CD. This CD contains various artists and isn't live or 1/2 as rowdy as the samples above. I wish I could find out which CD that one is!
