Product Description Fusing timeless pop-rock sensibilities with contemporary and age-old Celtic flavors, The Corrs' unique sound is Irish at its core and universal in its appeal. A quartet comprising sisters Andrea, Caroline, Sharon, and brother Jim, The Corrs popuarlity in the U.S. blossomed in the mid-90's and has thrived throughout a string of acclaimed releases. On Home, their latest album, The Corrs return to their roots-and their family legacy-with a selection of tunes lifted out of a treasured sonbook of the late Jean Corr. Driven by the siblings' passion to shed new light on traditional songs and airs, this radiant collection features the crystal clear production and brilliant harmonies for which the band is renowned. It also presents two tracks in Gaelic, marking the first time The Corrs have recorded in their mother tongue. .com Almost as famous for their killer cheekbones as their astounding musical chops, this Platinum-selling Irish family band (sisters Andrea, Caroline and Sharon plus brother, Jim) has cut a major swath, garnering an international fan-base with their Celtic-flavored electrified pop and feisty live shows. They decided to cut an album of mostly traditional songs as a memorial to their mother, Jean, a musician and song collector who died in 1999. But as with Sinead OConnors 2002 Sean-Nos Nua, their treatments, while perfectly authentic, also reflect their more usual style. The opening selection, a spooky lullaby called "My Lagan Love", features martial-sounding drums, washes of parlor piano and banked strings straight out an Arab-Andalouse orchestra. "Peggy Gordon", about unrequited love, has a retro folk-rock back-beat that works beautifully with the plaintive vocals. "Old Hag" is a rollicking instrumental while the Irish-language "Buachaill On Eirne" and "Brid Og Ni MHaille", if a tad unidiomatic, do not lack charm. But the track that lingers longest in the ear is "Dimming Of The Day", a gloriously moving ballad from the pen of British singer-songwriter Richard Thompson. --Christina Roden

Finally the Corrs album I've been waiting for!
So with the very first Corrs album I bought, I was impressed by their Irish folksy sound on many tracks, and to this day, "Erin Shore" remains my favorite instrumental number of all time. Since that time, I have longed for some more "inspired" arrangements of traditional Irish songs, and who better to present it than the group that got me into it in the first place. To be honest, some of their albums in the past have let me down a little, but I've always enjoyed their sound, so I didn't really know what to expect with this one, but now, I have to say, if I ever want to transport myself to the green hills of Ireland, I just need to give this album a listen. I still find myself toe-tapping and singing along, and sometimes I even forget I'm singing traditional Irish tunes, but either way, I love it. There are some slower songs, and perhaps some that won't stick with me as much as others, just like any album, but I've also found those that stick with me days after listening, and I find myself humming in the morning when I wake up without even realizing it.

Traditional Irish songs
This album to me says "We're the Corrs, and we play what we want." I am glad they did so. It is very much the Corrs relishing and showcasing their heritage. I am sure they had a blast recording it. I always enjoy listening to it. Since I am not Irish, when I listen to this album, it takes me on a cultural journey. I especially like the songs done in Gaelic. You really can't go wrong with the Corrs.
