I knew none of these singers or vocal groups -- and am amazed at how totally beautiful these sounds are. Incredible harmonies and the lyrics are earnest, spiritual cries for justice.. every track has the extended "discomix" -- great steppers riddims. I totally recommend this if you like real reggae music, one of the best I have heard. Ranks with Heart of the Congos, tho' of course the production sound is diffferent.

Sharing equal accolades with Year of Sunday, Unborn Child, Down Home and Summer Breeze, this album represents a near perfect synthesis of folk, country, rock and pop.  Lyrically infused with the very best of New Age sensibility and showering the ear with crystaline harmonies, utterly fabulous string playing and remarkable contributions from its sidemen, this work reminds us of how successfully far-reaching the pop music of this era actually was and conversely, how far the modern genre has generally fallen.  Re-release of this and the above mentioned on cd is long, long overdue.

A unique sound, impossible to pigeon-hole this music as a particular genre.  It combines influences from difference sources into a one-of-a-kind musical experience.  The enthusiasm of these exceptionally talented performers was abundantly clear when I saw them perform live, and this recording brings backs the excitement of that evening for me everty time I listen to it.  Just amazing.

By far, the strongest draw of "Acoustically Irish" is the pristine blend of Neil and Ryan's voices.  Individually, they are both strong soloists, but they are singers who are extremely talented at blending.  Their harmonies are beautiful, and easily the best part of the album.

At both ends of the album and right smack in the middle, you'll find three up-tempo tracks that you'll love. Replete with fun harmonies, all three are a joy to listen to. Don't Go has a cool banjo-y feel to the chorus, Saints and Sinners has the best cadence, and Brown-Eyed Girl is peppy and fun with guaranteed snap-ability.

But, my favorites on the album are some of the ballads. All of these are made so very beautiful by the harmonies infused into the choruses. I'm not just putting you on; they are achingly lovely. Beautiful Affair, such a sweet song, is my favorite on the entire CD, but Rose of Allendale comes close on its heels.

In the end, if you like good music, if you like male gorgeously-blended voices, if you like acoustic-y goodness, Irish tunes, or anything with a slightly folksy feel, this is the album for you. Enjoy!

Each word, almost each and every separate word is like a natural, richly colored landscape  painting.  The music of Michel Legrand and Jessye Norman's voice : a wonderful combination of quality and craftmanship. I admire those two musicians in their own field, but now together, stunning !
It's pure gold. This collaboration embodies a wonderful honesty, authenticity, subtlety, and incandescence...qualities that are very rare nowadays. It's a must have for anyone who appreciates the subtle, sublime and the unpretentious. This album simply could not be better.
I'd like to give this CD countless stars for splendid recording.

The sound quality is excellent, and the artistry can't be beat. The only surprise is that four superstars like these, each of whom has a well-established career, can work so seamlessly together to produce such a beautiful sound. Anyone who hasn't heard these quartets and who finds Mozart's symphonies less compelling than his operas and concerti, and I include myself in this category, will enjoy these pieces.

I was never a country music fan but I saw this on Palladium one afternoon and was completely blown away by the vocal harmonies.
The song "Silent House" really sold me on this group.
Everything is top notch on this DVD. The musicianship, video, sound and overall performance.
Considering that their careers were derailed for giving their opinions, the music is stronger than the politics.

I own a record player and I've got my dad's copy of this album and I love it. The vocal harmonies are amazing and they have a saprano that can hit the stratospherically high notes!

I couldn't wait to hear the album after hearing samples, so I spent a little more for the CD to get the MP3 download as well.  These guys are superb.  If they did a Everly Brother tribute, I'd buy that as well.  It's amazing how well they harmonize, and sound like the Everly Brothers.  Keep the tunes coming guys!!

The LP sounds wonderful on my stereo. It was intriguing to see how Dylan and the Dead blended. The album shows how a very special kind of fusion could occur when two sides of the virtually same genera are harmonized.
