My beloved Irish band, The Corrs has released their new album "HOME" last September 26. And yesterday, I asked my hubby to get me a copy. I miss hearing and watching them sing (live). I wish they’d have another tour and this time include my country in their itinerary.
The album composes of traditional Irish songs but were given new arrangements. Two of the tracks in the album were sung by Andrea in Gaelic language ("Buachaill On Eirne" & "Brid Og Ni Mhaille") and 3 instrumentals ("Old Hag", "Haste To The Wedding", "Return To Fingall"). Home is compiled through a songbook of the late Jean Corr (their mother). And as a trivia, this album was released exactly 10 years after their very first ablum "Forgiven not Forgotten" was released.
The album has a big difference from other albums that they already released … no pop-rock like songs here. I’d say a mixture of traditional and contemporary is the overall sound of the album. Slow but with nice beat and rythmn. A great background music while on a comfy drive on the country side. Also the instrumentals are great! Of corrs its a must have for all fans. But if you are not into Irish songs, you might want to pass on this one first.
My favorite songs on this album are Heart Like A Wheel, Buachaill On Eirne (Boy of Ireland) and Haste To The Wedding.
