Hothouse Flowers
Listen to the poignant lyricism and the poignant vocals of
frontman Liam O'Maonlai.
Common
Ground: Voices of Modern Irish Music
includes traditional celtic tunes by Maire Brennan, Sinead O'Conner, Sharon Shannon, Elvis Costello, Kate Bush, and Liam O Maonlai while Bono and the Finn Brothers contribute new songs for the mix.
Fresh-faced siblings, Andrea (lead vocals) Sharon (violin), Caroline
(drums) and Jim (songwriting) with a fresh pop sound. With hits such as
"So Young," and "Runaway," they sound as good as they
look!
U2:The Joshua
Tree This is the cd that made the politically conscious band a household
name. Hits include "Where the Streets Have No Name," "I
Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," and "With or Without
You," making this an essential cd for your collection.
Tears
of Stone: In this compilation, well-known celtic instrumentalists, The
Chieftains
accompany
acclaimed female vocalists, such as Mary-Chapin Carpenter, Sinead O'Connor,
and Bonnie Raitt, on traditional tunes with inventive new arrangements by
Paddy Moloney. The Corrs contribute a lively ditty that isn't very far removed
from their usual celtic-pop sound, while Japanese pop star Akiko Yano's
"Sake in the Jar" creates an all new form of East-meets-West.
Andy White, Liam O'Maonlai (Hothouse Flowers) and Tim Finn (Split Enz, Crowded House) got together for this experimental project; not so much a band as friends getting together for a loose jam session. Check Pandora's Music Box since it's out of stock at Amazon.
