Editorial Review: Amazon.com: The tracks on The Best of the Chieftains are drawn from The Chieftains 7, The Chieftains 8, and Boil the Breakfast Early--three of the band's recordings from the late 1970s. This was the period when former Bothy Band and Planxty flautist Matt Molloy and vocalist/bodhran player Kevin Cunniffe joined up and finally fulfilled Paddy Maloney's vision of what the band should sound like. It also marks the last time the Chieftains recorded pure, unadulterated traditional Irish music. Not long after making these albums, the band set off on a new career that has included numerous movie and TV soundtracks, collaborations with pop stars of various stripes, and guest appearances with symphony orchestras. Although some purists decry the band's later attempts at crossover, the near perfection of tracks such as the exquisitely performed suite of dance tunes "Chase Around the Windmill" show that the Chieftains had taken the old tunes about as far as they could go. The group may have gone on to make better-selling records, but they never topped the traditional grace and charm of the songs on The Best of the Chieftains. --Michael Simmons Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Very DisappointedI have always loved the Chieftans and owned many of their tapes/cd's and have never been disappointed until now. This cd is definately not the best of anything they've ever done. I've never even heard of these songs. Wish I could get my money back. Rating:  - bEST OF CHIEFTAINSOk for a best of collection, but I have enjoyed other of this group's cd more and would put this one toward the middle for purchase Rating:  - Inspiring MusicSimply the best of the best. You cannot go wrong with this cd. Excellent work! Rating: - Irish MusicIf you are going to have an Irish party, this is the best music to have. The music is varied, jigs, reels and knee slapping songs that liven up any event and get you dancing. Rating: - Love this CD!I love the Chieftains and I love this CD. I love it so much, I using a great many of the songs for the Prelude for my wedding. |
