Ceann
Almost Irish

"With a constant stream of new CDs to review and place on our broadcast, we've grown accustomed to the standard Celtic type CD - Green hills rolling, lush rivers flowing and inspiring sunsets setting!

Then one day this CD arrives with a low-res image of a Celtic Cross, St. Patrick playing a electric guitar and snakes with human heads? What goes here!! This has got to be someone's idea of a joke or something completely new and innovative! Well, we are happy to report it is the latter…..

Ceann's "Almost Irish" is one of the most creative, energetic and fun bands that we have seen come along in a long time. These boys have redefined Celtic rock music with a purposeful "American" touch that will surely put a smile on even the most rigid European. And if you are American, hey we finally have our own home-brewed rendition of Celtic music! There is just no better way to put it, Ceann's "Almost Irish" rules. With tracks like "Pabst Blue Beer" (makes you wanna drink), "Butt Tattoo" (Did you ever realize how many office girls have a Butt Tattoo) and the classic "The Worst Pirate Song" (Arrrrrrr) - you can not go wrong picking up this CD for your Celtic music collection.

For Celtic Rockers only (and those that like to drink and smile) - get this CD - 4.5 stars and a BUY recommendation from CelticRadio.net!"
