Artist: Paddy's Boots
Album: Beer Belly
Year produced: 2009

There is great collection of tunes here--and plenty of them to listen to as well. If you are in the mood for a rousing reel or jig, Paddy's Boots does indeed deliver. Sprightly sounds spring forth from the instruments as the music is called forth from the skilled hands of the musicians. There are no amateurs here! Beautifully played, the songs on this CD feature a good mix of Irish dance music that is a pleasure to listen to. Need to get motivated for something? This is a good album to put on!

Beer Belly delivers right out of the gate with the first track--a well-played reel. From there the CD continues to move through different songs and arrangements featuring different traditional sounds and instruments. There is nothing too offbeat here, so the album is best-suited to those who favor traditional stylings. Nothing wrong with that. The musicians here draw from a wide variety of different musical backgrounds including folk, jazz and classical, so here and there a bit may pop through, but Celtic music lovers will feel right at home with this CD on. It stays the course.
