Nearly every song is radio worthy on this disc, capturing this amazingly talented family at their absolute best. While writing and producing the majority of their music, Andrea, Sharon, Caroline and Jim combine modern folksy-rock with traditional Celtic instruments and tunes, proudly reminding their audience of their heritage. Besides their big hits, however, personal favorites include, "No Good For Me," a wonderful composition that shows off Andrea's passionate voice, the catchy "I Never Loved You Anyway," and "Paddy McCarthy." It starts out slow with a lounge beat and just when I wanted to hit the skip button, it bursts at the seams with fiddles and tin whistles. It's an awesome merging of modern dance beats and traditional reels. The album closes with a beautiful rendition of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," featuring a guest appearance by The Chieftains--a classy end to a must-have collection that finds the perfect balance between traditional and modern.Read full review
This special edition of TALK ON CORNERS features several remixes and tracks previously not included on the album.The Corrs: Andrea Corr (vocals, tin whistle); Jim Corr (guitar, accordion, keyboards, programming); Sharon Corr (violin, background vocals); Caroline Corr (drums, bodhran, background vocals).Additional personnel includes: The Chieftans, Paddy Moloney, David Foster. Producers: David Foster, Oliver Leiber, Jim Corr, Glen Ballard, John Hughes.Recorded at The Bunker, Wrexham, Wales.The Corr family's music hit big in Europe before making it's way to America, so the U.S. label folks had a little time to prepare something special for the American release of TALK ON CORNERS. Consequently, the U.S. edition of the album contains songs not included on the original European album, as well as additional remixes of some of the tunes. The Corrs' mixture of contemporary pop with traditional Irish influences is certain to appeal to audiences in both camps. Any album that features guest appearances from both David Foster and the Chieftains is bound to have some serious cross-market appeal. The Corr siblings are no instrumental slouches either, and their tasty contributions on traditional pop/rock instruments (as well as tin whistle, bodhran, etc.) are the foundation of the genre-defying construct that is TALK ON CORNERS.Read full review
this is my fav corrs cd some of the most fav well known ones that we all love. this is a very good cd to keep in your car
This is a fantastic cd. The variety of music on the cd changes and you dont know what to expect, There is pop and classical irish music rolled into one. My favourite track on the cd is dreams, the track is the pop/classical music I was on about. Fantastic. A must purchase for any Corrs fan
It has range of different songs to suit your mood and they are an original band. I decide o buy as it was at such a good price and I only have their music on tapes, which are out of date.
