This is from the Lash's solo album, after the band broke up.  {#Cheesygrin}

Pretty surprising to me that so many people find this sweetass dancy irish modern folk so boring.  I can well imagine hearing this at a pub raising me elbow to a bonny lass and skipping off to the dance floor.

A mediocre effort. Thursday night at Bennigan's. Uninspired and foot dragging, at least until the end. Where are the traditional roots?

The instruments bring out my British/Scottish/Irish music blood . . . Read the comment disparaging the singing--but I hadn't even heard any singing. Interesting. Will listen out for it next time around.

For me it's the sound of penny whistles and the like that drive me absolutely bonkers. Can't hit the mute button fast enough whenever I hear "celtic-sounding" music. canadave wrote:

Exchange the vocals for someone with a little balls and I kind of like this. It would be interesting to hear some input from across the Atlantic.

Don't usually like the Irish-jiggy songs, but this one is real good. Kind of rock-jig.

If there's a video to this song, it should be little fairies flying around playing flutes. And then in the middle of it, they get crushed by King Kong's foot.

aaaw, I was hoping by the title it'd be a remake of "(YOU're) The Lucky One" (last covered by Krauss?) with a sweet accordian solo... As it is, too early for ale songs.

I love the genre, and it makes a good follow-up to Solas, but there's not really any emotion there. Kinda dry. Hmm... as I type that, it picks up. Not bad.

Now let's hear The Decemberist's "The Mariner's Revenge Song" and, to funky it up, "Blueberry Boat" by Fiery Furnaces. A straight 16 minutes it probably a bit much to devote to 2 songs though. :)

Go back and reread it. They weren't saying RP is kind of cool. The complete thought being conveyed is the song kind of has a pirate sound like RP is kind of cool, meaning there's no "kind of" about it: this song defnitely has a pirate sound and RP is defnitely is cool. I wish people would take the time to thoroughly read and think about posts before replying. Would save a lot of misunderstanding and ruffled feathers around here. MT
