Wild Celtic music w/energy and talent for days. Acoustic instruments, great vocals, and serious fun. Contagiously catchy, great lyrics (with a surreal sense of humor) and a slice of everything from African drums to Irish bagpipes. Decca loves this one. Every track is so good!
1. Fast, fun, Celtic party w/a catchy sound & lots of energy. 4:00
2. Midtempo story song, a total toe tapper w/a sense of drama. 3:56
3. Upbeat folk w/a wacky story about a drunken donkey. 3:06
4. Starts slow, then an upbeat instrumental swirl. Sudden ending. 4:25
5. Midtempo folk w/cool lyrics. Sweetly funny & sad. 3:55
6. Completely driving folk rock about the 7-11 clerk. 4:05
7. Mid/upbeat Celtic rock about making up a good story. 3:31
8. Upbeat inst. Celtic rock w/great piping, guitars, perc. 3:50
9. Mid/upbeat (in Celtic) w/a catchy melody. 4:12
10. Upbeat instrumental toe tapper, slows down a bit later. 4:35
11. Down/mid folk w/a sense of nostalgia & hint of country. 4:21
12. Quirky mid/upbeat with a “let’s share a pint” feeling. 3:11
13. Bagpipes, perc, guitars in a cool mid/upbeat jam. 4:08
14. Yay! Midtempo song about punching Russell Crowe. 3:16
