Music reviews of Tessie
Music Review: Instantly addicted to these guys after one listen.
Rating: 5 Stars
I had heard of this band before...the punk rockers with the piper in the ranks who covered Glasgow Celtic Football Club's terrace anthem "Fields Of Athenry"...so I wasn't caught COMPLETELY by surprise to find that I like them a lot...but early this morning I was watching the bonus features of the 2004 World Series highlights DVD (ASIN: B000679N6E) when I heard this EP's title track being played with such amazing energy and passion that I had to find out at once who the band was. I nipped off to the record shop at once and was thrilled to find the song on this EP (it is also available on another charity compilation CD from Boston and ESPN baseball expert Peter Gammons called "Hot Stove Cool Music" -ASIN: B00015HVNI).
This EP is an incredible introduction to the band; VERY reasonably priced (with proceeds going to charity, so everyone wins), two separate but equally brilliant versions of "Tessie" one more-or-less acoustically performed behind a HUGE ballpark organ), the aforementioned "Fields Of Athenry", as well as a scorching instrumental (either "Nutty" or "Nut Rocker", it's listed both way s in the CD liners), and an acoustic original "The Burden". It's truly a can't-lose proposition for the curious music fan, baseball historian ("Tessie" is basically a recounting of Boston's ragtime fan contingent "The Royal Rooters" raising hell after the box office sold their seats out from under them before a big game), and/or Celtophile.
I'll be buying anything from these guys I can find after hearing this EP with no reservation...this is great stuff, and further proof that 2004 will forever be remembered as The Year Of The Red Sox...Black-&-Tans for everyone!!!
