Gaelic Storm - What's the Rumpus
- Gaelic Storm’s What’s the Rumpus is exactly what you would expect it to be – folksy, fun, Irish music with Irish drums, fiddle-playing, etc. The lyrics weave stories in a traditional sense, but with more current stories. Many of the songs lend humor to the album and their ability to almost poke fun at themselves is not only endearing, but also hilarious, like “The Night I Punched Russell Crowe” and “Don’t Let the Truth Get in the Way (of a Good Story).”
The melodies and harmonies are absolutely beautiful and entertaining. With some songs you might feel like you are watching “Riverdance,” at a pub drinking a pint, or at some spiritual festival. They only added one track in Gaelic to the album, “Beidh Aonach Amarach,” which is so beautiful, and, if you like learning, you might really want to learn the language.
