20 Great Irish Drinking Songs (Whiskey In The Jar) - Various Artists

Advantages: Loads of Phil Collins songs
Disadvantages: Loads of Phil Collins songs messed up

.... Add a few scratches and a rap and you have this Gotta Hold Over Me - Coko. Poor song. In my opinion Coko isnt the most gifted singer and you can tell on this track. Not one of Phils greatest and not one of Coko's either I Dont Care Anymore - Kelis. Produced by the Neptunes, this is a harsh track with an 'I Hate You So Much Right Now' shouty feel to it. You would either love or hate this Cant Turn Back The Years - Joe. Not to disimilar to the original and it works. The best track on the album, Joes voices gives this tune so much credit. It really does work. Quality Do You Remember - Debelah Morgan. Poor again, she has a good voice and it comes through but the production is not great and its a big let down Against All Odds - Montell Jordan. This is worse than the Westlife version. Its just not very good One More NIght... Read review

Advantages: smoother than other whiskies
Disadvantages: expensive

...you swallow it, but with less harshness than other whiskies such as Bell's. I personally choose not to drink whisky on its own or on the rocks, but it goes down a treat mixed with a generous sized glass of Coca Cola. However, I do know a lot of people who enjoy the drink straight. Jack Daniels was originally made in Tenessee, so it makes a refreshing change from more rugged Scottish whiskies. The bottle is an attractive and distinctive square shape, the label design sort of reminding me of 1850's western America. JD Tenessee whisky is available in several different sizes, all of which are in this trademark square bottle. It is available in 5cl, 35cl, 70cl and 1litre bottles (which are not as common as the other sizes). However, a 70cl bottle (700ml) will set you back a rather hefty £16 or so. However, this is a good price to pay... Read review

Advantages: Relaxing story telling music with a bit of heart
Disadvantages: Too boring

...OK album, with a nice mix of different artist most of which i have never hear of before. As you can probably tell I'm not usually into this kind of music but being someone always looking to expand my musical horizons, I thought i would give it a go but was not too impressed. Most of the songs featured were not too impressive, many of which sounded very boring and generic for the genre. Track 15, Green Fields of France - Furey & Davey Arthur was probably one of the most impressive tracks on the album; this song featured delicately sung lyrics and an impressive story which i think is based on world war 2. Some of the other tracks were almost up to this standard but were too boring and didn't catch my attention.... Read review
