Amazon.com Although none of the members of Danú are over the age of 30 here, on Think Before You Think they manage to play Irish traditional music with an authority that belies their tender years. The six instrumentalists whip through the set of dance tunes with an exciting blend of passion and precision. They skillfully blend fiddle, flute, accordion, bouzouki, guitar, and bodhrán into a sound that is rooted in tradition but still sounds fresh. Along with the dance tunes, the band also accompanies vocalist Cairan O Gealbhain on a number of songs that he beautifully sings in both Irish and English. The future of Irish traditional music is secure as long as young bands like Danú continue to get together to play the music of their ancestors. --Michael Simmons Similar CDs

Member CD Reviews Colleen A. (Cedarbend) from WARROAD, MN Reviewed on 3/24/2009... I heard Danu's version of "Fair and Tender Ladies" on a Canadian radio station and was stopped in my tracks. I tracked down who they were, got the album and have never tired of it. We had the privelege of seeing them live at the St Paul, MN Irish Fair and they were every bit as good as we had hoped they'd be. I had probably heard "Fair & Tender Ladies" by other singers and musicians many times before and probably didn't even notice, but when Ciarán Ó Gealbháin sings it, it is something else altogether...it can bring tears to your eyes!
CD ReviewsA Great Buy Jason | Baltimore, MD | 09/27/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "I had never heard of this group before I encountered a listening station at my local music store, but I was immediately hooked. Their blend of jigs, reels, ballads, and love ballads works perfectly, and makes this group of 7 young musicians well deserving of the "Best Overall Traditional Irish Band" award that they received at the 1999 Irish Music Awards. An added bonus is the history lesson learned while reading the descriptions of the songs. Finding out what "brooms" are, and the uniqueness of Waterford Gaeltacht gives an added flavor to the album. I encourage everybody to buy this album because the youthful exuberance demonstrated on this album makes it a great buy and an even better listen." Great Album! S. Donohue | Allen Park, MI USA | 06/13/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is the best Irish traditional album I've bought this year and I've bought about twenty. It's definitely one of my favorites. The music is lively and the musicians and singer are very talented. If you're looking for a good album to see what traditional Irish music is all about or you're already a fan and want to hook your friends, this is a great choice."
