by Catherine L. Tully
Artist: Brian Boru Irish Pipe Band Album: "Brian Boru Irish Pipe Band 40th Anniversary" Year produced: 2003 This band is truly all about the music. Forming as a non-profit to "preserve and advance Celtic piping, drumming and dancing," they are doing their part and then some. All members are volunteers, which is a tribute to their dedication and love of Irish music, and yet there is nothing amateurish about this group of musicians. As a matter of fact, it has attracted a fine group of players, and is one of the oldest existing pipe bands in the Midwest United States.  This 40th anniversary CD is a terrific compilation of expert playing, and the music can really be described as "full" as the sound seems like it is coming from all around you on many of the tracks. As anyone who has heard a pipe band live can attest, there is nothing quite like the sound that they produce. Luckily this is preserved well here and although it isn't right in front of you, it is the next best thing.You'll hear favorites, such as Wearing of the Green and a lovely version of Amazing Grace that shines out Irish style as it plays; the last track on the CD. The 12 songs seem to fly by and leave you wanting more, but that's fine, I doubt this group will be disbanding any time soon! If you love the sound of the good Irish bands that march in a parade, this is the perfect CD to pick up. Buy the Album: "Brian Boru Irish Pipe Band 40th Anniversary" Catherine L.
