Music reviews of What's the Rumpus?

Music Review: Leaves me wishing for the awesome sound on 'Bring Yer Wellies'
Rating: 3 Stars

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Gaelic Storm. That said, this CD somehow just misses the mark for me and my husband. We're relatively new 'converts' - discovered them this summer at the Irish festival, and their performance was fabulous. After several listens and heartfelt attempts to love this CD, though, my husband and I mutually agreed that this time they fell short. Darcy's Donkey is fun, as are several other numbers, and the talent is still obvious. I guess I'm spoiled by the great songs on "Wellies" and their other albums. The 7-11 song is particularly, well, awful. I should say it with more diplomacy, but I'm an honest O'Reilly....Most everyone here seems pretty happy with this album so I'm sure I'll give it more listens. I remain a die-hard fan of GS, and I'll hang in there till the next time. "The Devil Down Below" and the Johnny Tarr songs have my full adoration!

Description of What's the Rumpus?

It has now been over a decade since Gaelic Storm's career lifted off with their appearance in the blockbuster film Titanic. Since their big-screen debut 10 years ago, the band's fan base continues to multiply with each new album, turning the one time-pub-band into one of the premier touring acts in the Celtic/World music genre. Musically, Gaelic Storm's compelling originals and fresh arrangements steeped in Celtic traditional melody combined with their unique blend of world rhythms continue to broaden the musical horizons of the Celtic music genre creating new standards for generations to come. Highlights from their decade-spanning career include six Billboard Chart topping albums, a DVD, a full-length concert film featured on HD.net in 2007-2008, song placement on two EA Sports Games, a 2008 Hallmark greeting card featuring their song & Kiss Me I'm Irish; countless television and radio appearances, and of course, an appearance in James Cameron's Titanic. Gaelic Storm has sold out hundreds of theatres and performing arts centers and has now played to audiences totaling in the millions.

Gaelic Storm will release their seventh album titled Whats the Rumpus on their own label, Lost Again Records on July 8th, 2008. Inspired by the music that drives their loyal fan base, Whats the Rumpus is a wild party of an album, full of colorful characters and outrageous stories, flavored with Gaelic Storm's signature acoustic sound that gets you dancing and never lets you go. I think this is some of the best writing we have ever done, everything seemed to come together perfectly for this CD, says Steve Twigger, This is the culmination of a great deal of hard work and a barrel of good times. From the upbeat opening title track to the final cut, The Night I Punched Russell Crowe; (a true story involving singer Patrick Murphy), the music captures the contagious energy of the bands carefree attitude and infectious live performances. With instruments ranging from African drums, Irish bagpipes and Celtic fiddle to trombones and Cajun-style accordions, WTR is a three-ring circus of acrobatic songs, swirling tunes and galloping rhythms. Steve Twigger produced the project with co-production by drummer Ryan Lacey and Pat Manske, and additional production by Patrick Murphy. Returning to The Zone studio in Austin TX where the band recorded their previous release Bring Yer Wellies, Gaelic Storm also enlisted the help of a few select Austin locals including Lloyd Maines and 1960's psychedelic performer, Arthur Brown, to round out their eclectic Celtic sound. To quote Patrick Murphy, We have so much fun together as a band, we managed to capture some of the good times we have together on this recording.

Gaelic Storm also includes: Ryan Lacey on drums and world percussion (graduated twice from the Los Angeles Music Academy, once for hands and once for sticks), Pete Purvis of Merrickville, Ontario on uilleann pipes, tin whistle, deger pipes and highland pipes (a Grade 1 piper who toured with award winning pipe bands including the Braemar Pipe Band and played at 2000 Sydney Olympics) and the newest member of the band Jessie Burns on fiddle (originally from Suffolk, England, now
living in Colorado).
