Professional Review:

Following their gig as steerage band in mega-blockbuster The Titanic, their acclaimed self-titled debut disc, and a continuous tour throughout North America, the U.K., Japan, and France, Gaelic Storm offer up the enticing reels, boisterous jigs, and sweet melodies of Herding Cats. Beginning with the rousing "Drink the Night Away," the quintet marries fiddle, guitar, accordion, harmonica, and bodhran with the African djembe, the group's signature vocals, and a spirit of merriment. Previously a favored pub band in Santa Monica, California, the ensemble, whose members hail from places as diverse as Ireland, Zambia, England, and the U.S., manages to preserve the intimacy of a small show while infusing the recording with robust zeal and exceptional musicianship. "O-Mahonny's" stars a flamenco-jazz-flavored guitar and accordion intro, while "Hewlett's Set," "Western Lilt," and "Titanic Set" cajole the listener to frolic on the dance floor and "She Was the Prize" evokes starry-eyed romance. --Paige La Grone

Summary: A lively romp
As a lot of people probably did, I bought my first GS disc (this one) after hearing them on the "Titanic" track (which I bought because it was composed by James Horner, but I digress). I enjoy Irish-pub style music anyway, and here is plenty of it, delivered with spirit and verve. The band isn't quite so good when it moves into the contemplative, which is why I rate it at four stars, but for music that will make your feet twitch, they're right up there.

Summary: Herding Cats
I think this is a decent album -- stronger on the traditional music, with a fun, party/pub feel, weaker on the often somewhat silly "original" pieces. The energy projected by Gaelic Storm live doesn't quite come through, but it's still an enjoyable CD.

Reviewers may be interested to know that this band was in existence for *years* before the film Titanic came out; they used to play every Sunday at O'Brian's in Santa Monica. They're no more or less "commercial" than any other band.

Summary: I like this CD!!
Let the naysayers say what they will, but this is a great little album!! As far as musical abilities go--I've seen more people in Ireland who play like they do than the virtuosic types that all are lording about. Anyway, they have a nice little album and they are one of the best live acts out there! Just sit back and enjoy it and don't worry if it is "irish enough."

Summary: Great Band. Need to release a "LIVE" CD
I recently saw this band at a local college and ran up during the intermission to buy both CDs. I am waiting with baited breath for the third this summer, but this band needs to do a live cd so that those who won't get the chance to see them live can listen to such songs as "Why Patrick Won't be at Work Today" and the Scottish Kilt song. If I would have thought about it, I would have made use of the tape recorder I never used in lecture to get a bootleg. I'm actually learning how to play the Harmonica so I can jam along with the CDs (Herding Cats and {self titled}). Excellent Albums Buy both and support this band.

Summary: Complete dross
The two previous reviewers,Leroyfrancis 4/10/2000 and Irish music enthusiast 26/9/2000 have summed up this bunch of talentless chancers perfectly.Their "music" is worthless and it is criminal that dross of this nature can be peddled on the open market.Are those who are so generous with their praise,really familiar with proper Irish music? or are they,like the "band", tone deaf also.
