Artist: Bill Grogan's Goat
Album: Bill Grogan's Goat
Year produced: 2007

This album isn't for the faint of heart. Full of style and energy, Bill Grogan's Goat manages to bring their own spin to traditional Irish music in a way that is sure to please those who enjoy high-energy music. There are a wide range of tracks here, and the CD is quite fun to listen to. Some songs here hover at about 3 minutes, and there is a track that goes on for over 17. Take in unique versions of favorites such as "Whiskey in the Jar" and "Black Velvet Band" and be sure to stick around for the hidden track at the end for an additional surprise.

These five Detroit musicians are adept at playing their instruments and the delivery here is polished and professional without being overly produced. The feel of the arrangements is new and different though, giving them a sound that is quite unlike your average Celtic band. These guys have something new to say--and play--and they are definitely worth a listen. And you won't feel cheated since there are plenty of tracks to kick back and soak up.
