Edit

What can we say about an album of traditional irish songs performed by the Corrs? This is a "wish come true" to every fan of the band, especially for those who always search on the pop songs of the Corrs theirs irish backgrounds. This album is very well produced, with beautiful traditional arrangements for the songs and inspiring lyrics. The first track is the outstanding "My lagan love", with violin & tin whiste solos, played by Sharon and Andrea. "Spancill Hill" is like a tale about the return of an irish man to the place where he was born,where he meets old neighbours, friends, the old bridge and his first love. "Peggy Gordon" is a love poem, related to someone who loves, but is not loved back."Black is the colour" is my favorite song of "Home". Andrea declares her love in a very submisive way, loving the ground he walks and waiting for the day when she and her loved one will become ONE. "Heart like a wheel" is another highlight on this album, very traditional. "Buachaill On Eirne" and "Brid Og Ni Mhaille" are sang in gaelic, with translation to english on the CD booklet. "Old Town", already presented on MTV Unplugged album, returns on "Home", with a renewed studio version. "Moorlough Shore" and "Dimming of the day" also deserve to be praised. Don't think twice. Pick up you copy and bring "Home" a real irish songbook!
