American Folk Songs for Christmas amounts to an extraordinary and large collection of ... more
unvarnished American folk songs sung and played by the Seeger family with help from British friends and folksinger-playwright Ewan MacColl and daughter Kitty. Unassuming and full of old-fashioned good times, this CD's simple pleasures are derived from gospel music and lost carols, mountain hymns, a sprinkling of popular standards, spirituals, and such "earthy" instruments as the concertina, fiddle, piano, dulcimer, banjo, jaw harp, whistle and plain-singing human voices and joyous handclaps. The disc's panoramic look into Christmas from another time and place is just right for those caught up in today's "simplicity" movement where less is definitely more--or for anyone wanting to get out from under the oppressive weight of so much commercialized product. Recommended. --Martin Keller

Advantages: Contains songs that are rarely heard now Disadvantages: Couple of poor songs
This is a good CD and one that any Orangeman will enjoy. This includes some classic Orange songs that you will be familiar with and others that you won't be. Which is always good to find new songs that you can sing along too. My favourite track has to be "The Union Cruiser" which is great and also menitions a lot of good loyal places in Ulster. Also in my favourites are the first track "On Boyne's Red Shore" which is enjoyable listening to the facts before going into the song. Also enjoyable songs are, Lurgan Town, Battle of Garvagh, Crimson Banner and the final track with the fife and drum is just excellent. This is one CD that any Orangeman or woman can buy and should have in their collection ...

He says that he went to a record store and came home ...

MIKE & THE MECHANICS "Hits" - Relatively cheap to purchase these days ... I wouldn't pay anymore than £6.99
I am just listening to it as I write this ... very beneficial!
This album is a collection of the bands hits from 1985 through to 1996 and includes songs that the band have experienced great success with in various regions of the world over an eleven year span.
The album sleeve is fairly basic, with a cartoon design of a mechanic slumped asleep upon a tyre, resting upon his tool box in front of a gas filling pump. The inner sleeve is a 6-page booklet of photographs, along with a list of the tracks and information regarding the year they were produced and whom they were written by.
