CD Reviews

Shane McGowan is the voice of Pub Music
John Fenstermaker | Earth | 04/02/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"OK, so he isn't. Heck, he was born in London and has a superhuman tolerance for intoxicants. Neverteheless, he's a musical genius, and sings wih a voice we all wish we had when we were drunk. I doff my hat.



Here's to ya, here's tward ya, hadn't a metya, wouldn't a known ya..."
"God is in 'is heaven, and Billy's down by the bay!"
Travis Dubya McGee Bickle | Texas Quail Hunting Camp | 12/07/2005

"I go back and forth on compilations - depending on the artist, sometimes it's best to have the individual, complete albums, other times a comp will serve just fine. Here, I think with this comp, plus one other album, "Rum, Sodomy and the Lash", you'd have the best of all possible Pogues worlds...



But, all the hot sh-t greatest stuff is here, including hard to find chestnuts, like "Irish Rover", and my own Pogues fave, "Rainy Night in Soho" (apparently not the original EC-produced version, but a string drenched, but still really nice re-make).

"Great music. Just as a note Shane was not born in london, he was born in kent while his family was on vacation. He was lived in Tipperary, Ireland until he was 6 then moved to London."
