Best Irish Pub Songs, The - Various Artists

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.

This is regarded in Irish music circles as one of the best songs that has come out... Read review

...opens with every instument playing at a fast pace. which sets of the drunken irish man in everyone.. this song also includes a groundbreaking irish sounding solo which last quite a while... basically this song is just fun to listen to. 4stars 3. devils dance floor: this track sounds the most traditional even with (drums,guitar and bass) involved... it seems to have the sound that it should be played in a pub with drunk people playing around the band..... but anyway this for me is the best flogging molly song in Swagger 5stars hope you have found this review helpfull plz comment so i can improve in future reviews xxx...
