After the brilliant cover versions of classic punk era on 'Yan, Tyan, Tethera, Methera' it it's hard to produce a second album that comes anywhere near the same standard.
All I can say is 'By Hook or By Crook' not only meets this standard, it's surpasses it. None of the tracks are sub-standard to the originals, they only compliment them and, dare I say, better some.
This blend of Irish style folk with the raw (and in some case not so raw) lyrics of the punk bands produces a sound that is melodious and, being able to hear the lyrics, thought provoking.
The star track must be 'Ever Fallen in Love with Someone (You Shouldn't've).
If you are a fan of punk and folk this is a must for any collection.

This is the second album from the Bad Shepherds that I have purchased. Really enjoyed it. Didnt know as many songs as the last album I bought (sorry, too young!). But great anyway. Keep 'em coming!

This is a great CD to relax to, though I'm betting you won't be able to resist singing along ;-) loved the version of Ace of Spades and Making Plans For Nigel.

The BAD Shepherds
Love this group, seen them live several times, really great music, great concept, Folk Punk, great change from Folk Rock! Shame they're taking a break!

Not Bad Shepherds
Very decidedly a "not bad" CD, [definitely 'listenable'] but not as strong as their previous offering "Yan, Tyan, Tethera, Methera!".

Excellent listening
This is a fantastic album - from the opening track with it's fabulously haunting uillean pipes (Troy Donockley) to the last track with the brilliantly foot stomping fiddle (Andy... Read more

A superb album from an amazing live act
I was lucky enough to catch The Bad Shepherds at Norwich last night and was utterly blown away. Not only are Troy Donockley and Andy Dinan two of the finest musicians in the World... Read more

The Bad Shepherds - By Hook Or By Crook
At first the idea of `folk' with a punk attitude didn't appeal to me more than likely due to my `traditional' prejudices but when I heard that multi-instrumentalist Troy Donockley... Read more

Ade Edmundson group
As expected from what i had read and listened to, all good stuff from my youth but re done on mandolin violins etc, different but good at the same time.

Good album, not as good as seeing them live though.It is made up of punk songs played in a folk style.

Another set of songs that shouldn't work but do
Although billed as Punk/New Wave meets folk, it is more than that. They almost capture their live performances. Read more

Another five star album
This is just as good as the first album, "Yan, Tyan, Tethera, Metheral". The sound maybe just a shade more polished and maybe the songs fit together a little less well but it still... Read more

Oh folk! They've done it again.............
Nice one chaps!
Was a bit concerned that a second album might fall short of the standards set by the first. No need to have worried though. This is another gem. Read more
