Customer Reviews

Great songs, poor quality
This collection of songs sung by the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, as well as Sarah Makem, the Clancy children, and Peg and Bobby Clancy, has the potential to be one terrific CD (and how lovely to hear Peg Clancy's clear, pure voice!). It includes many of the favorites from the Clancy and Makem repetoire. However, the poor quality of this CD makes it impossible to enjoy. The recording is so inconsistent that at a normal volume level, the boisterous songs are simply overwhelming, and the lovely softer songs are all but inaudible, which makes for a frustrating listening experience, to say the least. I'd recommend skipping this CD in favor of the many other excellent recordings by this ever-popular group.

Clancy fans, Stay away from this one!
I'm not adding anything new to the previous reviews, just giving one more warning, this CD is to be avoided. A clever idea, having recordings of not just the Brothers and Makem but other family members as well. It should have worked, as the selections are fine, but it sounds like it was recorded off the radio with the type of cassette recorder used in elementary school for filmstrip presentations. There are many wonderful recordings of this great Irish folk group, get one of those instead.

Poor Quality - Poor Price
The sound quality on this CD leaves a lot ot be desired; the audio is very inconsistant. I found I had to turn the volume up on some of the cuts then down on others. The songs are great traditional Clancy Bros.; however the CD is missing the spark and livelyness that I have come to expect from the Clancy Brothers. I could also quote my previous review of "Home To Ireland: 28 Irish Favorites" since this is exactly the same CD. This one is, however, at a higher price. If you must have this one to fill out your collection, I suggest you buy the "Home To Ireland: 28 Irish Favorites" since it has all the same cuts, and I believe IS the same recording. At least that one is a bit less expensive.
