The Best of the Irish Tenors

Review Score: (10/10)
I discovered John McDermott through the Irish Tenors concert on PBS (along with quite a few others). His style stood out from the others. It was less "operatic" and more immediate and approachable. John has a wonderful voice that seems made for the telling of stories through song. The songs on this CD are a mixture the old (traditional songs from both Scotland and Ireland) and the new. All are arranged simply which lets John's voice come shining through. My main complaint about the "Irish Tenors" is that the songs tend to be overwhelmed by the orchestration. That doesn't happen with any of John's work. After you buy this, you're going to want "Old Friends", "Love is A Voyage" and "Remembrance". You might consider just ordering them all now and save on the shipping. "When I Grow to Old To Dream" is my favorite McDermott CD. ... Happy listening!
