Irish Folk Music, September 30, 2008

This is by far and wide one of my favorite CDs. I own the Celctic Woman as well, and I'm not actually sure which one I prefer. The music on this CD is quality, the sound excellent, and I bring this in the car with me for long trips whenever I go somewhere by myself.

I did not find this to be close to good Irish music.
I too, bought this CD without hearing any songs, or
even knowing WHO The High Kings are.
Their sound is boring to me, there are no surprises.
I thought I'd be hearing some real Irish authentic
music, instead they seem to try way too hard to fit
into the modern world, especially with the song "From
Galway to Graceland." I really felt that song was awful
and un-necessary.
I have learned the hard way...Never buy a CD you don't
know!

If you are a lover of Irish folk music in the vein of the Clancy Brothers, this CD is for you. One of the High Kings is a son of one of the Clancy's, and the connection shows. This is like the gold standards the Clancy Brothers used to sing updated and made modern without anything going missing on the way. After seeing the High Kings in a PBS special, I bought the CD for my part-Irish husband, and he must have played it ten times in a row as soon as he got it.
If you heard and liked Celtic Women, go for the male version, too. It's lovely!

Absolutely fantastic singers!!!!!!!!!!, September 3, 2008

The High Kings are a fantastic group of singers that sing beautiful Irish ballads. They are Darren Holden, Martin Furey, Finbarr Clancy and Brian Dunphy. Furey, Clancy and Dunphy all hail from families who have been known for years for their great Irish singing. Holden received rave reviews for his performance on Broadway as Billy Joel's Pianoman! If you love traditional Irish music this dvd is for you. It's great!
