Description
FROM THE CREATORS AND PRODUCERS OF THE IRISH PHENOMENON CELTIC WOMAN COMES THE NEXT GENERATION IN IRISH BALLAD MUSIC, THE HIGH KINGS. Finbarr Clancy, Martin Furey, Brian Dunphy and Darren Holden - renowned vocalists and musicians - have come mutually to shape the hottest Irish folk and ballad group to emerge since The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem electrified the worldwide folk revival of the 1960s. The musical producer is the highly acclaimed David Downes, who is the musical genius behind Celtic Woman and formerly the musical director of Riverdance. He delivers intricate harmonies and driving rhythms to The High Kings songbook, giving them a freshness and sparkle this is infectious. A rousing TV exclusive was filmed in Dublin and is available on DVD (The High Kings: Exist in Dublin).

Customer Reviews
Customer rating is 5 of 5  Totally pleased and surprised - can't stop singing these songs!   2010-01-29
By Michael Kane (Southern California)
If a CD can get my 15 year old son to sing along with me, then I judge it to be a success! This album has great production values, infectious tunes, marvellous voices, and a surprisingly good percussion section! Being a fan of acapella music, I particularly enjoyed "Galway to Graceland". You don't have to be of Irish descent (although I am and it helps) to enjoy this effort by the High Kings. Some will probably complain that the whole package is too slick. I would prefer the word "professional". Thanks, lads!

By Alan Carroll (Potomac, MD)
Well, I was expecting rather insipid stuff.. but I did find these guys by looking at the iTunes 'Celebrity Playlist'..and Steve Martin suggested this album. I got a few tunes, then realized that I'd probably like them all. I have.
Happy, homeland music. Not flaky. Hey, this is Irish music! Have any of the folks that have slammed this kind of stuff ever been to Ireland? Do they have any Irish blood? Do they know anything about Irish history? How much horror and pain this country has gone thru - continues to go through?
Before you thumb your nose, consider how important songwriting, being together, and maintaining pride and history in one's county matters.
I love this stuff, and I'm only 3/4 Irish. So there.

As a lover of all things Irish, I was hoping to enjoy this new group, but I absolutely love the entire CD. I am anxiously awaiting anything new from them and highly recommend this for anybody who likes Celtic music.
