Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Good alternate versions of their best songs Comment: I've seen them live a few times - there's nothing that will compare to seeing this excellent band live - but this album recaps some of the great traditional songs done in a slightly more acoustic format. They are a stellar band regardless if you like the irish aspect - they are tight band that plays their hearts out and write great songs. I recommend every album - breathe and rocky road were my favorites but newer releases like absolutely, red and real world have kept up the high level of songwriting and energy. The amount of passion the lead singer belts songs out with is just astounding. Customer Rating: Summary: Fabulous Comment: As per usual the Dubbies turn out a great album. I loved the traditional roots of this cd with the Dubbies take on them. My favorites are Foggy Dew and Tell Me Ma. Customer Rating: Summary: With All Due Respect, The Irish Sessions Comment: I saw the Young Dubs a month or so ago on a whim. They were playing a show by my house and decided to just go check them out. I really like this band, they are a lot along the lines of Blood Or Whiskey but a bit less rough sounding vocally. With All Due Respect, The Irish Sessions is a very good album. You get some Pogues covers along with a lot of traditional Irish songs but with thier own style melded into it all. I really like their rendition of If I fall from the Grace of God (Pogues), the Young Dubs added thier own little hook into it which just makes it really pop. This is a good album, if you like The Pogues, Blood or Whiskey, ect you will very much enjoy this album. Customer Rating: Summary: Keep up the Tradition Comment: The Dubs to cover well known Irish songs. The Young Dubliners have covered some of these songs on thier previous albums. Earlier versions of Rocky Road to Dublin and Ashley Falls are far superior on their "Rocky Road" Cd as well as Follow Me Up to Carlow and Foggy Dew From "Breathe" Take one listen to The Foggy Dew on "Breathe" and hear the passion. A great tribute to a great song. I just don't hear the fire in this collection. Not to many groups can cover Pogues songs well and here is another example. Great idea but it falls short. Update 1/15/08 After several more listens, excellent job with Paddy's Shamrock Shore Customer Rating: Summary: Frenetic Comment: This would be a great CD if you were trying to provide accompaniment at a ceili. It was too raucous for me. Good for a St. Pat's day Pub crowd. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: Cut from the same cloth as bands like Great Big Sea, Black 47, and the Pogues, the Young Dubliners put some rock 'n' roll in their Irish ditties. Here on its sixth album, the L.A.-based band looks back to the old country, mostly reinterpreting some of the Emerald Isle's greatest songs. Pogues fans will recognize such classics as "If I Should Fail To Fall From The Grace Of God" and "Pair Of Brown Eyes," and there are two Dubliners songs too, but the rest are traditionals as well as one original and one song adapted from a Patrick Kavanagh poem. Likely best enjoyed in the company of friends, this album is prime fodder for night of drinking in the pub thanks to the sing along choruses and big crunchy guitar parts. It's a fair piece from the tradition, but this band manages to keep the communal aspect of Irish music intact, and that means this tribute hits just the right note. --Tad Hendrickson
