Mystic sounds
Billy Finn | 06/08/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Amazing combination. The Chieftains, often seen as the most traditional of Irish groups and Van Morrison from protestant Belfast, gruff soulful/blues singer. I love the moment when the Orange `Sash` is played during `I`ll tell my Ma `along with a snatch of the Foxhunter`s Reel.

These guys were years ahead of their time, combining nationalist and protestant music, long before the Northern Ireland peace process.

Carrickgergus is marvellous and so is She Moves Through the Fair, Raglan Road but the showstopper for me is My Lagan Love, with Van`s amazing saxaphone-like voice in full trumpet...although he does go a bit daft near the end. Well done, all, for a ground breaking album."
If this ain't Irish...........
