Celtic Thunder - Celtic Thunder

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. Album Description

 Celtic Thunder is awesome!
I absolutely love this show. The. 5 men are all wonderful and the songs are varied....I laugh, cry, and sing every time I play it. Have the cd for my car! May 4, 2008

 OUTSTANDING!!!
I'm a Celtic fan! I HAD to have this CD to play in my car to make the boring traffic easier. I literally listen to this music every day. This production is the same quality and caliber as Riverdance and Celtic Women. When I saw the Celtic Thunder show on PBS I fell in love with every one of these gentlemen's voices. The attention to the detail of tonal quality and harmonic blends between voice and instruments is impeccable! I HIGHLY recommend this CD to anyone who loves excellence in music production!

 Great Mix of Irish and non Irish Music & Voices
The Celtic Thunder is another wonderful collection to my library. Yes, a few songs are not Irish, but their voices are superb and strong. The young man, Damian, sings a heart warming song, Come By The Hills (Buachaill On Eirne)It begins with the Gaelic language. The Mountains Of Mourne,The Voyage,and the upbeat Ireland's Call are just a few of the songs that are great.
These gentle men do a fine job on their vocals and performance. The PBS special was wonderful, and I am glad to see a new Irish performers continuing our heritage of Irish-American music. May 3, 2008

 Celtic Thunder
Wonderfull, would describe this C.D. It is great to listen to when you want to relax or just as background music. May 3, 2008

 Terrible
I bought this for mom and listened to a little bit of it, because that was all I could take. This is boy band material, they can sing, and may have talent. It is just being used in the wrong way. . It is to say the least cheese. It's the Irish making money off of (Irish)Americans with tacky taste, just like Riverdance and Celtic Women. May 3, 2008
