CD Reviews

Mervana, Irish-style

Lee Hartsfeld | Central Ohio, United States | 06/16/2002

(4 out of 5 stars)

"You've been searching for early Merv Griffin. You would love to have some of his early-50s RCA sides on CD, but where to find them? Well, you're in luck, because "Ireland Forever" contains seven of them. This is the place to hear Merv go Irish on numbers like "The Kerry Dance" and "I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen," and in excellently-restored sound. Previously, these had existed as an EP of songs from the movie "The Quiet Man." I wonder if Merv, when he was crooning "Kathleen" into an RCA microphone, expected these performances to be around half a century later?Other highlights include a wonderful Irish tenor named Leo McCaffrey and a lovely version of "Look to the Rainbow" by Fran Warren. A CD sure to inspire friends and family to inqure, "'Ireland Forever'? What the heck is this?""
