CHIEFTAINS w CORRS SINEAD O CONNOR BONNIE RIATT CD

Here is the Tears Of Stone CD album from the Chieftains printed in Europe. Unplayed and new. Indisputably one of the most significant album releases of 1999, despite this still only being February. Any new release from The Chieftains is worthy of recognition, but this latest collaborative effort must surely rank as one of their finest works. Having taken Irish traditional music into many new markets and integrated it with many varied genres, The Chieftains have assembled some of the finest female stars in the world to work with them on Tears Of Stone. From the opening track featuring Oscar winning actress Brenda Fricker who reads the poem Never Give All The Heart (accompanied by Anúna) to the closing take on Danny Boy (vocals by Diana Krall), every featured song, tune and track is a sure fire winner. Along the way The Chieftains are joined by Bonnie Raitt, Natalie Merchant, Joni Mitchell, The Rankins, The Corrs, Sinead O’Connor, Mary-Chapin Carpenter, Loreena McKennitt, Akiko Yano, Joan Osborne, Sissel, Eileen Ivers, Natalie MacMaster, Maire Breatnach and Annbjorg Lien to create a thoroughly compelling listen. The Chieftains have long since paid their dues in terms of Irish traditional music – these days they’re on a mission to take it to pastures new. While the Joni Mitchell sung Magdalene Laundries is set to be the first single, there is a strong rumour doing the round that the Corrs collaboration I Know My Love is set for single release in Ireland. while we have been unable to confirm this over the past few days, there seems every likelihood that the track will either gain full single release or be featured as an additional track on at least one single taken from this album. That said, any track from this album could easily be lifted for single release. Yes it really is that good. Time to look at traditional music in a whole new light.
