This stylish and high en­er­gy trip through some of the great songs of the last 30 years is pure show­biz! It is a trib­ute from Celtic Thun­der to the lega­cy they have in­her­it­ed from the great en­ter­tain­ers of the past, and a mark of how far they them­selves have trav­eled as per­form­ers, in a few short years. It evokes an era of big bands and boule­vards, top hats and tails and singing and dancin' in the rain! It makes for ir­re­sistible lis­ten­ing as the prin­ci­pals from this gen­er­a­tion pay their re­spects to the stars of an ear­li­er time. In the true tra­di­tion of va­ri­ety, the mu­sic cov­ers a mix of styles, songs and singers as the lads salute their mu­si­cal heroes -​ from Fred As­taire to Neil Di­a­mond, from Jim Croce to Chica­go, from Michael Bu­ble to The Beach Boys! Each mem­ber fea­tures with two songs, one a se­ri­ous work­out, the oth­er a bit of pure fun and a chance to let the hair down! These lighter choic­es have George stomp­ing around to The Pro­claimer's "My Life With You," while Ryan takes on the per­sona of a Chica­go gang­ster with "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown." Kei­th slips right in­to char­ac­ter with a Surfer Med­ley and Dami­an be­comes a bit of a boule­vard with "Stand­ing On The Cor­ner." Paul steps up to the plate as an ac­com­plished song and dance man with the rooty-​tooty "Doo Wac­ka Doo," spe­cial­ly writ­ten by Phil Coul­ter. One big sur­prise pack­age is gui­tarist Neil, who not on­ly joins Ryan and Kei­th in a haunt­ing, close har­mo­ny ver­sion of Leonard Co­hen's "Hal­lelu­jah," but al­so de­liv­ers a su­perb, soul­ful so­lo on the Dis­ney clas­sic "When You Wish Up­on A Star." U2's an­themic "Still Haven't Found What I'm Look­ing For." Be the first to own this in­spir­ing cel­e­bra­tion of won­der­ful songs and great singers, an up­lift­ing feel-​good pack­age, set for re­lease on Febru­ary 9, 2010.
