About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

With Long Black Veil, the Chieftains attempted a mainstream pop crossover by recording with rock and pop stars from the Rolling Stones and Sting to Van Morrison and {|Sinéad O'Connor|}. Instead of changing their sound to accommodate the talents of their guests, the band plays it straight. As always, their performance is superb; what is surprising is how well the pop stars sing Celtic material. None of the guest singers sound displaced or uncomfortable, which is largely due to the sympathetic performances of the Chieftains. In fact, the pairings work so well that Long Black Veil doesn't sound like an effort to broaden their audience; rather, it sounds completely natural. Sara Sytsma, All Music Guide

Another One for the Irishby glauver

September 03, 2009: Although I don't think this project rises to the level of the Plank Road sessions, it is very good. The superstar guests respect the songs they are singing and the Chieftans are one of the best backing bands of any genre. I especially like Mark Knopfler's Lily of the West and Jagger's Long Black Veil (although it's hard to concieve of Mick allowing himself to be hanged to save the honor of his best friend's wife, or any other wife).
