Legendary Voices of Celtic Song - Original Irish Tenors
- This is an awesome CD if you are a fan of Celtic music. I am a fan and think this is great music. You can actually imagine the many movies and tunes that this music has been featured in. There were several great Irish tenors way before the recent popularity of The Irish Tenors. This compilation celebrates the popular interpreters of traditional Irish music, including Dennis Day (“St. Patrick’s Day,” “How Can You Buy Kilarney”), Phil Regan (“When Irish Eyes Are Smiling,” the lovely “Come Back to Erin”), Frank Parker (the perennial staple “Danny Boy”), and Christopher Lynch (“Just a Little Bit Of Heaven”). To a new generation, it may be surprising to see the name Morton Downey as one of the singers on this collection (he was the father of the controversial late talk show host, Morton Downey Jr.). He delivers such a moving performance on “That’s How You Spell Ireland.” What makes this a great compilation of great Irish tenors is the presence of the great John McCormack—he was to Irish music as Elvis was to rock and roll.
