Editorial Review: 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. Average Rating:

I had been a fan since the early 1990s of the band whose albums such as "The Light of Other Days" were filled with songs of longing, rebellion, optimism and humor -- original and authentic songs embodying the timeless themes of humanity in general and humanity from the Irish and Irish American perspectives in particular. What a disappointment to find that the new "Celtic Thunder" album was a totally ... Read More Rating: - Hauntingly beautifulMy husband and I saw the show on PBS so I had to order the CD. My favorite performances are the celtic songs rather than the pop tunes, but all of these guys have amazing voices. I'm part Irish, though it's never played a big role in my life, but when listening to Celtic Thunder performing celtic music, it makes me long for a place I've never even been or seen. They have an ability to touch you with their hauntingly beautiful music. Their sound is refreshing, no vocal gymnastics, they just sing the ...
