Music reviews of Crock of Gold
Music Review: A rewarding listen if you persevere
Rating: 5 Stars
This is an album that you'll return to again and again, and one with hidden depths. Shane's most consistent work since The Pogues' 'If I Should Fall from Grace with God', he mixes Irish folk with a country twang and washes of slide guitar, rock'n'roll and dub reggae. If not a concept album, this seems to progress in theme, from the brashness and bravado towards the start with 'Paddy Rolling Stone', 'Rock'n'Roll Paddy' and 'Back in the County Hell', through more sensitive numbers like 'Lonesome Highway' and 'Mother Mo Chroi' to a kind of wistful nihilism towards the end with 'St. John of Gods' and its world-weary refrain of "F yez all, f yez all". The lyrics are by turns cynical, caustic, gentle and funny (the reggae pastiche 'B & I Ferry' praises "Mighty, mighty Jar"), and a flavour of the hazy world of MacGowan is conveyed. Tragic beauty in the most unlikely of places.
Description of Crock of Gold
Import reissue of 1997 solo album by the former leader of The Pogues, his second. Featuring the single 'Lonesome Highway', the album deepens & extends Shane's very personal themes & obsessions and confirms his reputation as one of the most ferociously poetic & powerfully impressionistic rock writers. 17 tracks total. Standard jewel case.Alternative Rock CDs
