The original - the Irish Rovers at their best
23 July 2006
Format:Audio CD
When I was small, my family used to watch the Irish Rovers on CBC Sunday nights, after Walt Disney. These are the recordings from those glory days. All the classics that used to appear on the radio are featured here, including the original 'Unicorn' hit single and the 'Black Velvet Band', which appeared with the Unicorn single. Also included is 'Pat of Mullingar', a song about an Irish rebel figure of Belfast; 'The Orange and the Green', one of my favorite recordings about a young man born to both Protestant & Catholic parents and the ensuing chaos; 'Bridget Flynn', a lovely melody sung by Joe Millar about a love interest of a young Irishman living in the country; and 'The First Love in Life', which, despite its name, is actually a song about Irish whiskey and a young man's early interest in 'the water of life'. The recordings made today still don't compare to these ones, though I am admittedly a bit biased by my fondness for those early days.

A lovely, captivating album of Irish music.
2 Sep 1998
Format:Audio CD
I first bought this album in 1979 and have enjoyed many years of pleasantness listening to it. My favorite song has to be Bonnie Kellswater, followed by The Unicorn. Bonnie Kellswater takes me back to the good ole days with it's mellow flute and smooth way the guitar plays in the background. I would recommend this album to anyone who is tired of the sameness that most of today's music has to offer. (i.e. same type of drum beats and synthesized instruments)
