( Not yet rated ) - The Chieftains are the most famous ambassadors of traditional Irish music. Their popularity continues to climb with every passing year. Moreover, associations with pop musicians such as Sting and Van Morrison have done nothing to discredit the Chieftains as one of Ireland's premier traditional ensembles.
- On 8, Paddy Maloney and the boys create timeless renditions of jigs, reels, slip-jigs, slow airs, and even a hornpipe (similar to a jig). "Dr. John Hart", a piece by the great Gaelic composer Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738), showcases the beautiful and lush mediaeval-harp playing of Derek Bell. "The Session" is a lively medley including the slip-jig (named for its time signature) "Elizabeth Kelly's Delight" and the joyous romp "Dinny Delaney's". Finally, stalwart reel "If I Had Maggie in the Wood" shows off Kevin Conniffe's bodhran (goatskin frame drum) and bones (percussion instrument that sounds similar to the spoons). An exciting and authentic journey through Ireland's rich musical past, 8 is indeed a classic.
