Incredible musicians and what a price for a DVD/CD September 25, 2006
Lilting Banshee (Roseburg, OR USA)

You get more than 2 hours of DVD concert footage--one great tune or song after another. Wow. I'm not kidding. Wow. Driving duo guitars on one tune, then Karan Casey singing a song then the whole band rocking out on some incredible set arranged the Solas way. You really have to hear this to believe it. This is Irish music stretched into a Solas groove. There are too many highlights to name them all: 4 part female harmony on Reasonland; John Doyle rocking out; Seamus Egan playing banjo, flute, guitar; Winnifred Horan showing fiddle virtuosity on ripping jigs and reels, then making you weep on some slow tune. And the vocals of one breathtaking vocalist after another. Solas isn't just straight ahead Irish music played at breathtaking speed . . .they hit a groove and explore the territory; they cover all sorts of stuff besides Irish: Darkness Darkness by Jessie Colin Young (remember the Youngbloods?); Cold Rain and Snow (the Grateful Dead covered this trad tune on their first studio album in 1967 or something) and everything gets the Solas treatment and it works beautifully. So watch the incredible concert DVD, then pop the CD in your car or stereo or whatever it is you listen to and you will be amazed. And to think I wasn't much of a Solas fan before I saw/heard this reunion set.

This CD/DVD set are reflections of exactly what fans of Solas love about the group. If you like high energy Irish music you will not be disapointed!

The audio/video value of the century! May 9, 2006

Simply put, a terrific CD. If you are a Solas fan you will recognize much of the music, but it is performed here with a difference. It's like listening to Solas for the first time all over again! The DVD is equally stunning. Very professionally done, and the next best thing to being there. This was a very rare event, and I thank everyone at Solas for putting this together.

I went to Ireland and was looking for some typical Irish music when I walked by Celtic Note in Dublin and heard this playing over the sound system. I immediately went in and bought myself a copy and have not been able to stop listening to it since then

excellent CD and DVD May 9, 2006

Great music from a fantastic band. The fact that all of the members, both new and old were at the concert only enhances the music. I actually attended the recording of the DVD and it was a wonderful night of music. The musicians were really on and it comes across on both of the recordings. Whether you are new to Solas or an old fan, you will find Reunion a great listen!
