 Definitive collection of folk music by the Irish Rovers! November 1, 1999
34 out of 36 found this review helpful
I use to have the Greatest Hits cassette of these guys now I've just bought this CD. And it just keeps going on with their legendary folky irish music ballads like someone celebrating a traditional Saint Patrick's Day festival. Irish Rovers were based and originally formed in Canada. The remastered compilation album has their history and chronicling every detail career they been doing since the late mid sixties.it also features what songs are from previous rovers releated album singles of those decade periods 1967-1971 under the record label company Decca. Jimmy Ferguson one of the band musicians died of natural causes in his sleep on October 8, 1997 which I did not know that. So i guess it's decaded in his memory of these recordings back then. Also other original band members were George, Joe, Will Millar three brothers & Wilfil McDowell. My favorite song classics on here are "The Unicorn", "Years May Come, Years May Go", "Lily The Pink", "Whiskey on a Sunday (The Puppet Song)" and "Goodbye Mrs. Durkin". if you want something that will set the mood for some old fashion folk irish tunes. Let the Rovers have your feet, toes tapping or your whole body dancing through all day long trust me it's a pure entertainent masterpiece that is so rich to be good as it gets here!

Yes, this is a remaster, but it contains all my favorite songs from the years when I first listened to the Irish Rovers. I loved the songs then, and I still love them. In fact I bought a copy to give to my mother, and she still loves them. Good songs are good songs, even if it is a remaster of earlier works.
Fun music superbly presented December 22, 2003

I often think that fun music must be the hardest to do properly because it would be so easy to sound silly. Yet here is a group that sounds like they're having fun but still taking their music seriously.The set opens with The unicorn, a children's song that has become their signature song. Liverpool Lou is a great folk song that has been recorded by many singers. The orange and the green takes an amusing look at an Irish family (their own?) in which the father is Protestant and the mother is Catholic. Lily the Pink, a brilliant drinking song, is a cover of the Scaffold's number one UK hit. Did she mention my name is a cover of a Gordon Lightfoot song. Years may come years may go provided Herman's Hermits with a major UK hit in 1970. The marvellous toy is a cover of Tom Paxton's classic children's song. A storefront from the TV series, The Virginian, was the inspiration for Mrs Crandall's boarding house. So many great songs (and not just those I've mentioned) will surely provide plenty of happy listening. If the Irish rovers can't cheer you up, nobody can.

Sound quality was exceptional. The richness of the recording sounds like it was made yesterday. This CD will keep your toes tapping from the start to end.
