Closer to the Main Street Singers than to the Dubliners or the Clancy Bros.......2006-03-25

This is a saccharine and banal take on Irish music, with all the emotional intesity of a Hummel figuraine. Upon first listen, I remarked to my wife that they sounded more like Peter, Paul, and Mary than the Dubliners. She correctly pointed out that Peter, Paul, and Mary were actually much better than this pablum, and that the Irish Rovers more closely resemble the fictional Main Street Singers from a Mighty Wind.

Truly, absolutely, unlistenably passionless, cloying and bland.

The best of the Irish Rovers.......2006-03-09

Outstanding!! It's a great CD of my old LP and it's great to hear the old Rovers again.

the best christmas present.......2006-02-02

My son was at his great aunt's and he heard her records and that's what caused him to get it. My daughter actually got it to him for christmas

I'd personally like to thank Lily the Pink.......2005-08-29

for her medicinal compounds! This cd combines some hilarious drinking songs with children's songs. The former are well worth the patience involved in getting through the latter.

THE ORANGE AND THE GREEN provides an amusing look at the difficulties involved in being the mixed offspring of Catholic Irish and Protestant Scottish-Irish parents ("being strictly neutral, I bashed everyone in sight!")while LILY THE PINK is an amusing story about the efficacy of a woman's medicinal compounds which were some less than expected: "Ebenezer thought he was Julius Caesar so they put him in a home and gave him medicinal compound, now he's Emperor of Rome!" They also cured an indivdual with a "terrible stammer" after which "he's s-s-seen but n-n-never heard."

And of course there is the slightly more subtle humor regarding Ms. Crandall's boarding house. One should just listen and enjoy.

Grab it with a copy of your favorite Gaelic Storm cd and laugh all your problems away.

Irish Rovers.......2005-08-07

This is a great collection of songs by the Irish Rovers. No one sings the "Unicorn" song any better than these guys. For Irish Rover fans and those that never heard their songs before, you can't beat this CD. Enjoy!

On the low end of mediocre.......2004-05-16

The 20th Century Masters entry into the Irish Rovers' Greatest Hits menagerie is on the low end of both; weak by Irish Rovers' standards and one of the lesser efforts in Universal Music's Millennium Collection.

The mastering is fair, with no glaring problems, but the sound is a bit muddy and the bass track rather weak.

The up-side of this collection is that several songs can be hard to find, especially the Tom Paxton cult-classic "Wasn't That a Party?". The down side is that many are re-recordings. This isn't terribly noticeable on gentle tunes like "The Unicorn" but is both disappointing and annoying on the aforementioned lively drinking song "Wasn't That a Party?".

If all the buyer wants is to add an Irish Rovers collection to his or her musical library, this CD will do. If, however, one desires a bit more quality in sound and more adherence to the original music, pass this one by and look elsewhere.
