Bog Roll Mar 18, 2010 As near as I can remember this is how yesterday panned out: Woke up feeling the distinct thrill of intoxication and because I don't actually lash into a lump of pints anymore I automatically assumed I was subject to some sort of divine benevolence, bestowed perhaps by St. Patrick himself, wherein I got to experience all the pleasures associated with being completely blotto without in fact having to swally a single drop of the hard stuff. A miracle you might say, courtesy of the patron saint of hairy little Eire. Anyway the train ride into work was quite memorable because everything made me crack up helplessly, particularly the vivid green costumes of some of the more adventurous commuters. Being slightly more modest myself but wanting nonetheless to properly honour the day that was in it, I had in my waistcoat a small stasheen of homemade green cigarillos and wore on my head a white woolly hat--a beloved little article from my personal wardrobe I don't mind saying, hand-knit if you can believe it by the Man of Aran himself. Once at my desk I decided it would be wholly appropriate to spend the entire day listening to just one Irish-themed record over and over again, eventually settling on Gaelic Storm's bloody bleeding brilliant album, Bring Yer Wellies. Begob now but this record on perpetual auto-repeat is a right hot pot of potatoes altogether so it is and more than once I was moved to leap up from me chair and burst energetically into a bit of an ould hornpipe right there in my cubicle. Sure you can't beat a bit of dancin'. These fellies in their wellies really do put the bog back in rock and roll and as a woozy boozy musical accompaniment to any Paddy's Day celebrations they're the real rockin' McGillicuddy and 'tis divil the bit of a lie I'm telling you now. Exhausted eventually by all the acrobatic leprechaun lampoonery I was nevertheless exhilarated enough on the train back home to crack up all over again at all the stage Irishry and vomit on display. Later, round about the tail end of twilight, I was sitting on the bench in front of the library decompressing and smoking the last of me green cheroots when who shows up but me old pal the moon in a clearly darkening blue sky. Looked most unusual too, being just the slimmest of slim little crescents of bright white light literally cradling a perfectly visible dark disk. Another miracle I thought and wondered in fact if this dude Patrick mightn't have something serious up his sleeve after all. Or stashed in his wellies, wha'?
Kiss Me I'm Irish(not really but I feel like it when I listen to this.) Jul 05, 2009 I first heard of Gaelic Storm when I received a free tune from them already downloaded on a new mp3 player I purchased. I enjoyed the song so much I decided to look into purchasing the whole cd. Bring Yer Wellies By Gaelic Storm is one of the most fun cds I have listened to in a long time. It makes you want to kick up your heels and do an Irish jig,
and to yell out to the world, "Kiss Me I'm Irish!", when your really not.
All in all, I would say if your at all interested in gaelic, celtic, scottish, or Irish music, then Bring Yer Wellies by Gaelic Storm is a must buy for your music collection.
Bring yer wellies Jun 03, 2009 This is a great album with some of the great songs that make their live show so awsome.
Simply Awesome Mar 05, 2009 This is the first time I've heard Gaelic Storm. I've enjoyed other Irish bands for years, but this is such novel, happy music that I play it almost every day.
Great Fantastic Awesome Musical Heaven!!!!! Nov 11, 2008 My favorite GS album by far - and I adore all the previous ones! So many great songs, such talent, songwriting, presence, this is the best pick-me-up music I've ever heard. How can you be cranky when Scalliwag or Johnny Tarr or Bring Yer Wellies or Don't Go For the One is playing? We saw GS at the Irish festival this summer and have told all of my O'Reilly relatives that the next family reunion is next summer here in Denver at the next festival - Praying that Gaelic Storm is here again then!
This is more than 5 stars - I'd rate it 5 Universes!
