The High Kings - High Kings - Music & Performance - CD

The new and growing in popularity Irish group The High Kings releases their first CD that features outstanding songs plus 3 bonus tracks. The songs displayed on this album span a wide range of moods, from the lively "Rocky Road to Dublin" and "Wild Rover" to the mellow strains of "The Parting Glass."

The debut album by the High Kings was issued by the same folks who had a hand in Celtic Woman and Riverdance, and consists of easy listening and buffed-and-polished Irish folk music of appeal to an audience that is comparatively massive for the world music fringe: this album made the lower levels of the Billboard Top 200 album chart. The High Kings is glossy and polite -- targeted perhaps toward listeners who enjoyed the pennywhistle on Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" -- even on tunes that strive to be upbeat and frolicsome. ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide
