SAW THERE XMAS CONCERT IN 1991 !!!!!!

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Was lucky to get tickets for there Palm Springs, CA concert and also purchesed the cd "The Bells of Dublin" it is now a regular holiday habbit that we listen to it always. As a fact it is so well used that I am going to replace it with a cd, so that it can get a lot more use in my car. You can help but enjoy this type of music if you are any part of Irish.

An True Irish Christmas Treasure

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: The Bells of Dublin by the Chieftains, is a collection of traditional music along with some updated selections. If you are a Chieftains fan or are new to Irish music, this is a good addition to your CD library. You will find that you will play it over and over, and enjoy it more each time you do. It won't be long before they have you singing along too!

Fabulous with one exception!

 Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: I love this CD...let me make that perfectly clear. "The Wren, The Wren", "The St. Stephen's Day Murders", "The Rebel Jesus"...EVERYTHING on this CD is great I think, EXCEPT! the hideous, utterly painful rendition of perhaps my favorite carol, "O, Holy Night" by Rickie Lee Jones. It is totally unlistenable...a complete destruction of a magnificent song. I skip it every time it comes on. If it weren't for that atrocity, my review would be 5 stars. Other than that though, "The Bells of Dublin" is a wonderful Christmas CD.

Music that touches the spirit in the heart

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: The Bells of Dublin is one of the best Christmas CD's ever made. It truly captures the spirit of Christmas for all ages and times. This CD is the first Christmas CD I listen to each year as the Christmas season begins. I turn this CD on when I am decorating and making ready my home for the Christmas celebration. If you are looking for a CD to lighten your spirit and lift your heart, The Bells of Dublin is an absolute must have. The Chieftains are a truly wonderful gift to us all.

Everything on this CD seems to fuse nicely...

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: If you like ethnic folk music or "World Music" as it is now called; you will probably like this CD, especially if you have a liking for the sound of Irish or Celtic music. Unlike most Christmas CDs where the same songs and same arrangements are done over and over again, this CD seems to stand out. I am not an expert on Irish music, but I found the songs to be very catchy and sometimes also very moving. Old favorites are given a nice Irish treatment with what appears to be some very unusual but authentic Irish instruments. There are also many guest stars like Elvis Costello, Burgess Meredith and Marainne Faithful. Sometimes, that sort of thing, becomes a distraction, but everything on this CD seems to fuse nicely.

It's one of my favorite Christmas CDs.
