Album Description
For Celtic Thunder, Sharon Browne has teamed up with Grammy-nominated Irish songwriting and composing veteran Phil Coulter to produce a show that includes an eclectic mix of songs ranging from the traditional "Mountains of Mourne" and "Come By the Hills" to international hits such as "Brothers in Arms" and "Desperado," as well as original compositions by Coulter, who has written hits for Elvis Presley ("My Boy") and the Bay City Rollers, and performed with Van Morrison, Tom Jones, and the Rolling Stones. The ensemble numbers in Celtic Thunder reflect the power of the vocalists, who range in age from 14 to 40, and feature songs that celebrate a common Celtic heritage.

 LOVE IT!! September 6, 2008
I love this cd! My 6 & 3 year old daughters love this cd too! They know all of the words (even if they have no idea what they are, they still belt it out!! One corrects the other & they're both wrong, but no one cares!)
Each singer has a unique sound and we love them all!
It's the only cd we play in the car.
 Sentimental sap September 6, 2008
Like a lot of people here, I first heard Celtic Thunder via the televised PBS concert. My initial impression was "gee they finally created a male version of Celtic Woman". I recently got a copy of the group's debut album. My impression remains the same. Celtic Thunder is essentially a male version of Celtic Woman. Of course there is the token teen Damian in the group. Without a shadow of a doubt, the men can sing and thankfully avoided singing material that has been done to death by the likes of Celtic Woman, Josh Groban, Il Divo, and Hayley Westenra. Unfortunately the material is less than spectacular especially that rancid cover "Puppy Love" (worst cover song EVER). That was just putrid beyond belief. I hated it when Donny Osmond sang it, I hated it when Damian sang it. I did like the cover of "Desperado" by The Eagles although Celtic Thunder's version tends to tread on the treacly side. My personal favorite song is "The Voyage", a gorgeous ballad. I think George has the most strongest and most compelling voice in the group. His voice is deep and rich. Damian is the weakest singer of the group. I can almost envision Damian doing a Peter Brady later down the road (i.e voice change during puberty). Of course there are a few songs from the tv concert not on the cd and that is because the record company wants people to shell out more money for the dvd. Here's hoping that the group's second album consists of stronger material that won't give me any cavities.
Celtic Thunder Review September 6, 2008
An excellent piece of music. While the DVD by the same Title includes additional material, this is still a very credible cd. Very enjoyable to listen to.
 easy to listen to September 5, 2008
I saw this show on the PBS station and enjoyed the music. Ordered it and am enjoying the cd as I drive to work. I have now ordered the DVD of the show.
Absolutely wonderful September 3, 2008
Celtic Thunder - I watched in on PBS and fell in love with the music and the performance. Some people say that this is not the original group, I don't know and I don't care. I like it so much that I ordered both, the DVD and CD and play it very often - in my car and at home.
