Product Description

About the Artist

They hold a special place in hearts around the world, and it's easy to see why. A performance by The Fureys is an experience in intensity and empathy. When Finbarr Furey's seasoned voice leads the way on favourite tracks such as When You Were Sweet Sixteen and the Red Rose Cafe there is rarely a dry eye in the house. It's not surprsing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent collection but not really a "Lonesome Boatman", 26 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Essential Fureys (Audio CD)
I bought this CD to replace a rapidly disintegrating audio cassette (The Fureys Finest) from 1987. Not available anywhere it would seem.

This collection contains most of the most well known tracks - starting with the well loved When You Were Sweet Sixteen to follow right through to the emotion filled The Green Fields of France.

My one problem with this collection is the version of The Lonesome Boatman. Not the atmospheric haunting melody previously encountered, but a strange version which is just that little bit too fast and, on occasion, given the screeching notes that occur, something that I find almost painful to my ears! Actually, if you turn the CD down before this track comes on, the effect is better and almost as atmospheric -it's growing on me but not quite there I'm afraid. A "Lonesome Boatman" isn't really the image brought into the imagination. Seige of a Nation almost makes up for it though and is a great "winding down" piece.
An excellent collection as an intro to the Furey's.
