The Irish Experience

I really enjoyed this album. True is does have a Blue Grass feel but I really liked the infusion and use of alternate instruments!! Very uplifting and beautiful if not traditional like Kevin Burke and others.

I'm glad I listened to samples first before I paid any money. This is terrible stuff. The fiddle player sounds like a Bluegrass player who learned a few Irish tunes and cut an album with some friends who also have no idea how to play Irish trad. Try listening to someone like Liz Carroll or Kevin Burke to understand what I'm talking about.

I love this album; I have been searching for something like this for a while now! And unlike some of the previous commenter, I like the electric instrumentation, and do not think it is out of place at all. It adds character. I would, however, caution against track 3, but overall, it is a great album, with a fresh, irish-esque sound. I highly recommend it!

Very talented. I hope to seeing more from them in the future.

I'm a big fan of Irish Music. There are some places where the electric guitar has been used, it does give a new essence to the music but would have loved having the music as original as irish music goes. Over all its a nice album and great for easy listening.

It is,beautiful!!!!

I have to say I've been looking for something like this for quite a while. I always find random tracks in other collections that I like, but never loving the whole cd. Not so here. I have my favs and the ok's, but I actually like them all. The only track I would caution against is #3, as it sounds a little too country hoedown-ish for me. But this is a great, upbeat, puts a smile on your face, and a dance in your toes group and that's exactly what I was looking for!!! And if I'm ever in Seatle, I'd make it a point to go see them live!

This is possibly one of the best albums on here. If you love classical music, it is a must!

The Irish Experience is a solid collection of music. However a few songs throw an electric guitar into the mix that simply does not meld well with the rest of the instruments. Flogging Molly and others make it work because of their rock nature but these songs aret trying to blend that guitar with a more traditional flair and it simply does not work. Most of the album though does not have electric guitar in it and those songs make me swell with Irish pride. Overall a great package.

This is a great album, not a bad track on it. A must have!
