 Album Rating: (3 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: I love the Chieftains But this is not what I expected. I have a lot of these cuts on other cd's and I was hoping for some newer stuff. Some live performances..... some off the wall songs oh well better luck next time.

Thank you!!!!!

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Do you have any idea how long I have been looking for a recording of "I Know My Love?" Try five years!! When I was in Ireland on tour in 2000, I heard that hauntingly beautiful love song and tried to find it over there. I can't believe that while I looked everywhere over in the UK, I am now finding it five years later, long after giving up, on the Internet! And what a beautiful interpretation it is too. I wouldn't have expected anything less from the mighty Cheiftains...

A Great Collection

 Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: When you're talking about Irish music, the Chieftains' name will inevitably come up. In many ways, this seemingly-immortal group pioneered the popularity of jigs and reels, and, thanks to the guidance of pipe player Paddy Maloney, worked to combine traditional fare with the best of pop and rock.

Aptly titled "The Wide World Over", this collection focuses more on the group's recent collaborations with mainstream artists than their traditional pieces. Some of the highlights include the Corrs' light-hearted duet, the traditional 'I Know My Love', Sting's powerful 'Mo Ghile Mar', Van Morrison's 'Shenandoah', and the powerful anthem 'Long Journey Home', featuring Elvis Costello.

Why four stars, then? I would have liked to have seen more traditional fare on a compilation album. While there are some fantastic jigs on here, including 'Live from Matt Molloy's Pub' and 'Morning Dew/Women of Ireland', overall the album is lacking in the types of songs that have made the Chieftains famous. And, while the collaborative efforts are commendable, they represent a mere drop in the ocean of what the Chieftains have accomplished. It's a good album, but by no means contains the full spectrum of what this innovative band has recorded.
