"I have to say that I have spent many a night with the Fenian's at the Harp in enjoying their music. I had even gotten to the point of buying their new CD's without question. Until this one. Listening to it I felt like I was listening to the Fenian's half asleep. They do still rock in concert and I highly recomend all their other albums, but this one can be skipped. Rob please come out of retirement and join the band again!!"

"The Fenians claim they are "Southern California's finest traditional/contemporary Irish band". I have to say that I don't think they are the finest in Southern California. I think they are the finest in all North America.The music is high energy, traditional Irish with a whole slew of other influences (rock, funk, and awesome saxaphone). The Fenians are an awesome band that pushes the boundaries of folk and celtic music. This great album combines old, new and new interpretations. The songs are the right mix of traditional, contemporary traditional and originals that will bring a smile to your face (Bakers Dozen), a tear to your eye (Grace) and wet your lips for another glass of Paddy (Token Whiskey Song). The vocals are perfect as most of the band sings, as opposed to having one front man. I dare you to listen to Chris, their drummer, singing "Grace" with those beautiful pipes of his, and not shed a tear! My favorite is "From Clare to Here" with its laid back saxophone and "Every day's a Hooley" with its reggae undertones. Definately, if you have a chance, get this cd!Track Listing:
