Customer Reviews:

Not as I expected.......2005-09-17

The Chieftains are known for their rowdy, spirited Celtic music. Most of the music on this CD was quieting, dirge-like and disappointing to the expectation of the "spirited" music I could pound my knees and legs, get up and dance with.....Too many other artists to enjoy just the Chieftains. I'm wondering who puts these 'favorites' together.

The Originals.......2000-09-27

After having heard the Chieftain produced "Fire In the Kitchen" album, this CD was like taking a step back in time. It was the first true taste of traditional Irish music that I ever heard. No fancy computers to "beef up" the sound, just true Irish music played from the heart. The CD is well paced with a good mix of toe-tapping jigs and reels, and slower marches, but the emotion is always there. This CD is traditional, and it reminds us of the origins of the music that has made its impact on mainstream america, origins that should never be forgotten.

Wow........2000-02-11

Like at first I thought this CD would be lame because it was my dad's CD.But I was sooooo wrong!This CD is brilliant!The instruments are played very well and the voices are great.Some songs are energetic and others are slow.Either beat,both are good.I love irish type music and if you enjoy this type of music,you'll really like this!

to "searching for a song".......1999-08-02

The song that was played on TV at the time of JFK jrs funeral ( they said it was one of his favorites) was "Carrickfergus" and it's on the album "Irish Heartbeat" by Van Morrison and the Chieftains. Hope this helps. If you can, let me know if you see this.

Searching for a song?.......1999-07-24

I'm looking for the song that was song at the time of J.F Kennedy Jr. memorial, I believe I heard it on the Today show with Katie Curic. I hope you will know what it is or where I can go....
