Album Review
The second release by the Prodigals reveals a somewhat changed personality than that present on their 1997 self-titled debut. New vocalist and guitarist Ray Kelly has injected into their music a bit more of an aggressive attitude; his presence gives the Prodigals a pseudo-punk identity. Bassist Andrew Harkin has developed a more pronounced style of playing and frequently delivers the melody line in a funky or jazzy manner. There are noticeable drum'n'bass grooves provided by Harkin and drummer Brian Tracey, which, when paired with Gregory Grene's traditional accordion playing, yields a unique hybrid of Celtic rock. Their version of "Spancil Hill" cleverly juxtaposes the country & western classic "Ghost Riders in the Sky" with that traditional Irish piece, and "Quart of Gin" boasts some lightning-fast bass and accordion playing, two examples of their genre-stretching tendencies.

Great
by jimbolaya13What i love about this album is that the listener gets the great celtic melodies, with a kicking bass and a drummer who actually deviates from the cliched snare-on-the-upbeat rythm that is so prevalent in celtic rock. The acordian and bass playing off of eachother is what really made this album for me though.
Great album
by another unknownAfter hearing "The Open Reel" during the bar fight in Pride and Glory, I was hooked. This is one of the rare albums that I can listen to all the way without skipping tracks. Good stuff.
