"Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers" by The Dubliners' Tabby Cats
by Catherine L. Tully
Artist: Marc Gunn & The Dubliners' Tabby Cats Album: "Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers" Year produced: 2006
MEOW! If you love kitties (and who doesn't?!) grab a pint of milk and check out this CD! Bard Marc Gunn spins a yarn or two in the style of the Irish traditional songs . . . with a twist. The best part is, the CD isn't just fun, the music is good too. Gunn's voice is terrific which is all the better, after all, you can't tackle this idea without a good sense of humour and more than a pinch of talent.
Gunn co-founded the Brobdingnagian Bards, and brings his talent and wit to this CD which includes favorites such as When Kitty Eyes are Smiling and Furagone's Wake. Anyone who has ever lived with a cat can appreciate the amusing lyrics of track 10, The Demented Cat Game where Gunn laments, my home is too small for the cat tyranny! Track 11, Black Kitty Paw is another good story for cat lovers, but I won't give much more away . . . you'll have to get it and see for yourself!
If you know a cat lover, this may well be the best gift you can get for them, and they don't even have to be Irish to appreciate the songs. There is a certain understanding between people and their cats and it is brought forth here in all of its glory . . . the good, the bad and the hilarious!
