Editorial Review:
In the case of this buoyant CD, "various artists" actually means "Clancy Brothers," since there is always a Clancy or more to be found on each tune. Then again, who else do you want to hear sing "Irish pub songs" anyway? Most of the 18 songs find the Brothers joining forces with Lou Killen; three cuts feature Liam in solo performance and one features the Brothers with Robbie O'Connell. Like the Eskimos and snow, the Irish seem to have a million words for alcohol and all of them seem to pop up here at some point. Mixed in with the jolly drinking songs are songs about women, history, odd characters, and politics, but they don't spoil the joyous mood and they last just long enough for you to refill your jug. By the way, Bob Dylan fans will want to hear O'Connell and the Clancys' spot-on reworking of "Ramblin' Gamblin' Willie," a tune that Dylan based on the Clancys' reading of "Brennan on the Moor." --Marc Greilsamer

Rating:  - Great
This is the best album I have in the spirit of Irish pub or Drinking songs. I recomend this with all my heart being I am part Irish!!!
Rating: - Love it!
My husband and I just love this CD. We've played it for all our friends and now I think they all own copies. We went out the other night to a pub and heard one of the songs being played, it was great to sing along to. I would highly recommend it!!
Rating:  - Good, Clean, Authentic Fun-
What a great album for those of us purists, even if we aren't Irish. Irish Pub Songs is the kind of music you put on when having a group of friends over for the world's greatest beverage. My favorite song is Beer, Beer, Beer- everybody sing along. I recommend this album for those of you who enjoy a good barley pop and festive drinking music.
