Year produced: 2007

I bet this is something you never ever thought you'd see! And next, I'd bet you were wondering if this is any good...

Well, let's end the suspense right now--it is fantastic! The unique idea to recap Cure songs with a Celtic flavor and different arrangements is a stroke of genius. You'll find favorites such as: Pictures of You, Love Song, Boys Don't Cry and Just Like Heaven. With ten tracks in all--this is a must listen Celtic rock CD to add to your collection.

If you have trouble imagining what it sounds like to mix the two you aren't alone--I had to hear it to see what the possibilities were, but it is really a great tribute CD. Favorites include The Love Cats, which purrs over the fiddle strings, and Fascination Street, which is the perfect blend of rock, Cure and Celtic sound. The album opens one's eyes (and ears) to the possibilities in terms of what can happen when you mix and match great music.

The band started out as a rock band in New York and evolved into what it is today -- a unique Celtic rock group. This isn't a new bunch either--these guys have been around a while and have put out a bunch of CDs over time. Give this one a listen and see what can happen musically with a great tribute to a great band.
