TullyArtist: Jolly Rogues Album: "14 Miles To Boston" Year produced: 2006 Nearly everything this band does has its basis in history. The title of the CD, for example, harkens back to the 1700's, and refers to the distance from the Hartwell tavern to Boston. The album is filled with variety--Irish and Scottish music--children's songs, ballads and more, taking one back in time to days where music was one of the best ways to relieve the stress of the day. You'll find true emotions here--sometimes sad, sometimes merry. The band itself sounds terrific--really smooth, and although the musicianship is stellar here, the more voices on the track, the better it sounds. When they all sing together, you really get a feel of people gathering to make the best of their lives and sharing their joys and sorrows. It feels good to be transported there through song. With wonderful, traditional songs, good sound and a healthy respect for our heritage as well as that of the Celtic ancestors who brought their music here, this band is pretty amazing. Weaving all those strands together, this CD is truly a great listen, as it speaks right to the heart. Buy the Album: "14 Miles To Boston" Catherine L.
