Celtic Thunder

Act Two
$18.98
This CD is awesome! Celtic Thunder music is inspirational and beautiful. These lads can sing solo or together and the music is inspiring. This CD is worth any amount of money and the songs are soothing and touching. I recommend this CD to anyone that loves all kinds of music. They sing celtic music and current songs as well. Very easy listening.

CELTIC MAN - CELTIC THUNDER: THE SHOW (DVD AUDIO)

I kept renting the video from Netflix before I bought a copy to keep. I've seen Celtic Thunder, Coming Home on TV and most of the songs are already on this DVD. I can hardly wait for their new DVD to come out. It has been several years since this show was recorded for PBS TV and they have only gotten better as a team and as individual talents.
Ryan Kelly has a wonderfully raspy tone to his voice, not to mention that Celtic accent.
Of course, all five men are extremely talented.
Enjoy!!

This is an excellent addition to the Celtic Thunder original DVD. It has new songs and new settings for the Celtic Thunder fan. I am most pleased with this purchase from Amazon.com

The one-star reviews are from people who ordered this in error, thinking it was that new celtic-flavored mainstream all-male band.

No offense to fans of that Celtic Thunder, but they're too mainstream pop and overproduced and just too...too....boy-band for my tastes.

THIS Celtic Thunder was a Baltimore-based Irish band in the 80s, that I believe is no longer around. (I could be wrong; somebody check on that?) They weren't a stadium act, they played the pubs and festivals and had a rollickin' time. They were down-to-earth Celtic, with loads of soul and authenticity, with songs about the hard times of immigration as well as joyous dance pieces and wry reflections on relationships. This CD may not sound as lavish or big-budget, but considering it was first recorded by a minor label in the 80s, it sounds pretty good. My favorite track is their version of the classic "Oft in the Stilly Night" which always has me wanting to sing along.

This is folksy, earthy music, the kind you go to a pub to hear, and have a great time with. They have another CD, out of print, simply called "Celtic Thunder" with a black-and-white cover; if you like this, look for that one as well.
