October 04, 2006: 'Tell Me Ma,' the excellent opening track, was a big chart hit for Sham Rock. If you liked that, and enjoy feelgood songs that get you out of your armchair, then this is for you. Whether it's their own songs or standards like Whiskey In The Jar, Sham Rock do a superb job, often with a completely new feel. (Like the haunting 'Rock Of Ages' and the traditional Lavenders Blue - given a very clever new sound.) 'Watch Me Now' is a brilliant 'girl power', up tempo, foot-stomper that sounds like a sure fire hit to me. But, it's not all about big, pop/rock/party songs. There are also some gorgeous ballads too. The album is worth buying just for the beautiful (& beautifully sung) Paul McCartney song 'I'm Carrying'. For anyone who is bored with albums full of 'filler tracks' you wont be disappointed with this. There is something here for everyone. A winner !
