Customer Reviews

One of the best Irish albums out there
I got this two years ago and I still play it regularly. Everything about this album is great, from the sound quality to the songs themselves. While no song is bad, some you're likely to skip after awhile, such as 'Some Say the Divil is Dead.'And even though 'Paddy's Dream' is a humorous and well written piece of poetry, it's not something you'll want to listen to everytime through. The song selection is very nice and of course the Wolfe Tones themselves are incredible. If you're new to the Wolfe Tones or Irish music in general, I strongly suggest this album.

If "Live Alive-Oh" does not make you feel alive, you're not
What do you get when you combine spirit, passion, talent, love of country, and rebelliousness with a live audience? The Wolfe Tones "Live Alive-Oh."

Everywhere one goes these days, one is bombarded with shallow, heartless synthesised noise spewing forth from the cavities of talentless, plastic people that some aspiring executive, isolated within the bland synthetic walls of a corporate cubicle, with a really warped sense of humor calls "music." While this may enthrall those suffering from mental impotency, it leaves those of us who hold in high esteem the joy and passion of the human condition out in the cold. If this is the kind of environment you seek, stop right here and return to your game shows and soap operas. If you need more, read on.

Be not of concern friends. The Wolfe Tones are an awesome group that you can really warm up to. In fact, I believe that the Wolfe Tones are a textbook example of why Irish folk music enjoyes the popularity that it does.

The Wolfe Tones sing of sorrow and hardships, of happiness and hope with equal enthusiasm. Their lyrics will bring a lump to the throat and a tear to the eye. They will also raise your spirits to new heights and make you want to get up and dance and sing along, and they do it all from the heart.

5 gold stars and a standing ovation to the Wolfe Tones for this great CD!

Great CD - Should Have Cut the Long Joke
This is one of my favorite CD's. Wonderful, spirted songs with the joy of the audience present at every moment. Anybody who wonders why the Irish remember their history, need only listen to this CD.
