| Borrowed Heaven comes a few years after the greatest hits collection and the Corr's last proper studio album, In Blue. It's easy to see it was time well spent as of the 12 new songs here there is very little filler and plenty of catchy, rousing choruses. Lead single and opener "Summer Sunshine" is jolly, guitar-driven, 80s pop-rock and, like much of the album, has a few quirky production gimmicks to fill out the verse while the chorus explodes into big drums and meaty guitar hooks. |

| Irish musical siblings The Corrs--featuring sisters Andrea (vocals), Caroline (drums), Sharon (violin), and brother Jim (guitar/keyboard) --have sold over 30 million albums worldwide with their signature blend of traditional Celtic sounds and contemporary pop/rock. The internationally renowned group's first U.S. compilation spans 1996 --2006 and boasts five Top 10 U.K. singles including the #1 smash "Breathless"(a Billboard® Top 40 hit in the U.S. as well). The treasure-packed disc includes the hits "Summer Sunshine" and "Angel," live cuts featuring U2's Bono and the Stones' Ronnie Wood, a new mix of "Goodbye," and the recording debut of "All I Have To Do Is Dream" with French star Laurent Voulzy. Driven by The Corrs' gorgeous melodies, crystalline vocals, sublime harmonies, and Celtic passion, this new collection is the stuff DREAMS are made of. |

| Almost as famous for their killer cheekbones as their astounding musical chops, this Platinum-selling Irish family band (sisters Andrea, Caroline and Sharon plus brother, Jim) has cut a major swath, garnering an international fan-base with their Celtic-flavored electrified pop and feisty live shows. They decided to cut an album of mostly traditional songs as a memorial to their mother, Jean, a musician and song collector who died in 1999. But as with Sinead O’Connor’s 2002 Sean-Nos Nua, their treatments, while perfectly authentic, also reflect their more usual style. The opening selection, a spooky lullaby called "My Lagan Love", features martial-sounding drums, washes of parlor piano and banked strings straight out an Arab-Andalouse orchestra. "Peggy Gordon", about unrequited love, has a retro folk-rock back-beat that works beautifully with the plaintive vocals. "Old Hag" is a rollicking instrumental while the Irish-language "Buachaill On Eirne" and "Brid Og Ni MHaille", if a tad unidiomatic, do not lack charm. But the track that lingers longest in the ear is "Dimming Of The Day", a gloriously moving ballad from the pen of British singer-songwriter Richard Thompson. |

| Not a single dud on this intriguing amalgam of jazz vocal style, rap, hip-hop, and truly soulful melodic and percussive combos. Rap and hip-hop for non-fans of that musical style. I have rarely heard such a creative foray into multiple musical styles pulled off with such seamless craftiness. How long will this CD go before it gets a giant contract from a major rec company? On the other hand, leave them alone so I can keep catching them cheap in Atlanta. Get it and listen to it now! I have gone over it ten times without any lapse in interest. Great stuff.
