Artist: Ceann
Album: "Almost Irish"
Year produced: 2005

The name of this CD gives some insight into the band Ceann. If you are tired of all those bands out there who drag out a simulated Irish accent and put it on for the show, they are for you! You won't find that here . . . but you will find some fun Irish music in the Celtic Rock style. The band describes themselves as: five Americans of ambiguous Irish descent, and they don't put on airs, they just sing and have a darn good time, and it is contagious!

If you need a pick me up, try this CD on for size. With songs like, The Worst Pirate Song, Pabst Blue Ribbon and Butt Tattoo, you won't be able to keep a straight face for very long. They are sure to give you a smile and a chuckle, and some good music to boot. Their music varies from songs with a heavier Celtic flavor to those who are nearly rock, and many variations in-between, so there is some variety. The humor, though is really what sets these guys apart from the pack and they are pretty darn funny! Why not start the New Year with a smile?
