Artist: The Brazen Heads
Album: Who’s Yer Paddy
This Celtic rock band is from Phoenix, AZ and they provide a great selection of music for fans of the genre here on “Who’s Yer Paddy”. There were some surprises along the way, such as a version of Pachelbel’s Canon in D–not something you see every day on a Celtic CD! Still, it was a good rendition. And this entire album has a bit of the unexpected on it.
Other standout tracks include the band’s version of “Wind That Shakes The Barley” and “One Eyed Reilly”. There were some softer songs too, such as “Dirty Dublin” and “His Dream”. The album is an unusual mix–some tracks are a little more gentle than you might expect for Celtic rock–but it works here. When the band cuts loose, however, things get a bit crazy–which is also a lot of fun!
I enjoyed seeing what each new track had to offer as I listened to their work, and never could guess what The Brazen Heads would be serving up next.
And you know what? Sometimes that’s a good thing.
