Artist: The Brazen Heads
Album: Curse of the Hag
High energy music here folks! Guinness Song is a great track to single out in terms of what you’ll get when you put this CD on. Not quite the raucous mayhem of those “punk” Celtic bands, but songs that still supply a good dose of irreverence. In other words…good stuff!
“Echoes” was a lovely, lovely song that shows a far different side (as well as range of capability) for this band. I’m always impressed by that when I see it, and this is no exception. It takes skill and the willingness to stretch a little as musicians. This band seems to embrace that rather than fear it. You can see that softness on “I’ll Be With You” as well. Oh, and be sure to listen for some fabulous harmony on “It’s My Way”.
If you are in the mood for some terrific music, go straight for “Curse of the Hag”, the title track. You’ll see that these guys don’t play around when it comes to what they can do with their instruments. They’re out to impress–and they do succeed. There’s something about the pacing of these tunes that really attracted me. They exuded energy without being “noisy”, which is a tough thing to accomplish.
These guys are one of the better Celtic bands that I’ve heard.
