The Stubby Shillelaghs "Celtic-American"
Release date: October 29, 2013
Running time: 45:56, 16 tracks
The Stubby Shillelaghs are back with their most ambitious work to date, the 16 track album “Celtic American”. Blending Irish and Scottish influences with American culture, the lads have found their own place among the balladeers. Apart from original members Ryan, Shaughnessy and Andy, there is a new fiddler (Eric Fisher) and a girl (Megan T) has guested on vocals on several tracks: “Caledonia”, “Gotham's Finest” and a "Question of Heaven”. As The Stubby Shillilaghs are aware that they're mainly a live act, they have tried to create that live atmosphere on the album by adding some jokes/spoken tracks/commercials such as “Who Told You Could Talk”, “Civil War Bros” or “Give Me Back My Family”
My choices: “The Cash-Up”, a number blending Johnny Cash (“Folsom Prison Blues”) and Dominic Behan (“The Auld Triangle”), the fine tune “The Stubby Shillelagh”, Dougie Maclean’s song “Caledonia”, the Appalachian number “Corn Shuckin’ Time”, “The Blue Bollocks Blues” (obviously a Blues) and, above all, the closing number, the metal infused “A Question of Heaven” featuring female background vocals by Megan T and Kirsten Carpenter and kick-ass percussion.
