Album Description
For Celtic Thunder, Sharon Browne has teamed up with Grammy-nominated Irish songwriting and composing veteran Phil Coulter to produce a show that includes an eclectic mix of songs ranging from the traditional "Mountains of Mourne" and "Come By the Hills" to international hits such as "Brothers in Arms" and "Desperado," as well as original compositions by Coulter, who has written hits for Elvis Presley ("My Boy") and the Bay City Rollers, and performed with Van Morrison, Tom Jones, and the Rolling Stones. The ensemble numbers in Celtic Thunder reflect the power of the vocalists, who range in age from 14 to 40, and feature songs that celebrate a common Celtic heritage.

Customer Reviews

Celtic Thunder stirs the soul.
I love this group, I can't wait to see them in concert. If you like celtic music, if you like Irish/Scott male voices lifted in song, if you love the sounds of drums and bag pipes, then you will love this CD.

Celtic Thunder
I cannot believe these guys - what harmony - what abilities. It doesn't take long to recognize every one's separate voice, and they blend so well.

Not quite what I'd expect for "Celtic"
Well first off im sad to see Phil Coulter getting involved in such an overproduced mess. Secondly, if I wanted to hear a country song (Desperado) I'd listen to Johnny Cash, and if I wanted Dire Straits I'd listen to Dire Straits. The huge number of covers on this album shows you what it is, its not a band but a cover group. Why all the hype, you can see this kind of act in any bar, this one just has a higher production budget and a kid.
