by Catherine L. Tully
Artist: The Ceili Family Album: "Tooraloo" Year produced: 2007 Enjoy this upbeat CD standing up, because you'll surely want to move your body, or perhaps even jump up and down! In the tradition of bands such as The Dubliners and with a hat-tip-and-a-half to Shane MacGowan, you'll hear tracks such as "Fall Face First" and "Delirium Tremens," from which you may never recover! The punk influence here is solid, but as with most good bands within the genre, The Ceili Family knows how to play and please their listeners--you'll find no amateur hour here. Lyrics are as amusing and offbeat as you'd expect upon hearing their influences include The Pogues and the Dropkick Murphys. There is also that underlying current of racing energy present that fuels this style. This band describes themselves as "Irish-Entertainment-Folk'n'Roll," and that quite suites their style, which is very much a melting pot mixture. Unmistakably Irish, these guys deliver an updated sound without thumbing their nose at the music that they spring off of. Adding their own stew of sound and personality, this is a band that doesn't take themselves too seriously, but plays their instruments well and takes care to deliver great songs despite their easy demeanor. Serving it up in style, this CD is for those who like their music fresh and new, but still want that Irish sound. Buy the Album: Album: "Tooraloo" Catherine L.
