The Corrs Album: “VH1 Presents the Corrs Live in Dublin”

I first saw The Corrs opening for the Rolling Stones in Philadelphia in 1999. They were amazing. I went out the next day and bought "Forgiven Not Forgotten" and "Talk On Corners". It wasn't their looks that attracted me to them. It was the music. Great original songs and a great choice of covers.(Jimi Hendrix, Thin Lizzy, Neil Young, REM, The Beatles(a beautiful version of "The Long And Winding Road"), and the traditional Irish instrumentals. This new one is a must. The new single "Would You Be Happier?" should be a top ten hit. The cover of Ryan Adams's "When The Stars Go Blue" with Bono is breathtaking, and Andrea sings the Rolling Stones "Ruby Tuesday" like it was written just for her. This is not just another one hit wonder pop group. With a cheerleading group like the Rolling Stones, U2, Mick Fleetwood, The Chieftans, & Rod Stewart backing them, how can you go wrong. Buy this CD. WAKE UP AMERICA. THE CORRS ROCK.

Recorded in Ardmore studios in Dublin Ireland the family from Dundalk has managed to show audiances in America that they are worthy of sucess and recognition. It is my pleasure to review this cd and to share with those reading and interested in The Corrs work the true and amazing quality that this band holds. With the help of the Irish Film Orchestra and the very special appearances by Bono of U2 and Ron Wood of The Rolling Stones this cd packs in a full amount of energy and and spirit.

Singing some of the best loved hits from thier previous cds as well as adding in many well loved covers of classic songs for those who seek to hear a new twist on great classics. In my oppinion the cover of 'Ruby Tuesday' by the Rolling Stones is the highlight of the cd the percussion in this song hits the heart. Another suggestion of choice is Ryan Adams 'When The Stars Go Blue' featuring Bono(U2) the vocal ability and passion of Andrea Corr and Bono is truly passionate exampling true stage chemistry.

When Ireland's Corr family came to America the sound of pop would never be the same for a person like myself. With their mix of catchy pop tunes mixed with a bit of rock and intertwined with the best celtic musical insturments such as the violin, tin whistle, and Bodrhán the Corrs are well on their way to sucsess in America.

In the month of March the Irish siblings from Dundalk released what can be considered some of their best work to date.

Live In Dublin is a great example of this family's pure talent, through their own songs and covering the songs of other popular artist such as The Rolling Stones,Ryan Adams, Niel young and nancy sinatra.

For such songs as when the stars go blue Andrea teams up with fellow Irish sensation Bono to sing Ryan Adams 'When the stars go blue', which is such a beautiful duet between the two it sends chills down any music lovers spine, Sharon Corr plays a beautful Violin Solo in this song which brings a smile to my face each time I listen to it. By far my favorite track on this cd is their cover of Ruby Tuesday by the Stones, between Andrea's beautiful lead vocals, Sharons backing vocals and CAROLINE'S DRUMS!!!, this song gives true honor to the work of the rolling stones and makes it impossible not to sing along with this classic.

This is a great follow-up to their 2000 release of In Blue which for corrs fand in the USA made us pray for a new single besides 'Breathless'! :).

VH1 presents the corrs live in dublin is a wonderful cd I cannot tell you how much I enjoy this cd. This cd is for anyone who loves the sound of true musicians, and for any fan of classic music with the open mind to hear a new sound. The corrs are something different and you will not regret buying this trust me!. youll love it.

Ashamed as I am to admit it, earlier in 2002, I had never even heard of The Corrs, much less any of their music.

Through my wife, I became aware of the single 'When the Stars Go Blue', written by Ryan Adams. At the first listen, I was HOOKED.

While all 11 songs are excellent, I have surely worn out the grooves by now on 'Stars', 'Radio', 'Summer Wine', and 'Ruby Tuesday'. The latter, in particular, is that rare entity that I actually find superior to the original (sorry, Mick). There is a very nice cover of 'Little Wing', as well as inspired performances of 'Would You Be Happier', 'Breathless', 'Runaway' and 'So Young'.

This is a fabulous compilation of a truly great live performance. If you have any taste in good music at all, buy this at any cost!

Amazing. This is a joyous, splendid collection of music and magic. It has been a long time since I have felt a tingle from a vocal performance but Andrea, Sharon, and Caroline are in wonderful form during this recording. Only Love Can Break Your Heart is rendered so well it borders on the sublime. Runaway, if you don't have it on another recording, is worth the price of the CD alone. The instrumental piece Joy of Life/Trout in the Bath is full of life and verve.

The recording captured the vocals and harmonizing beautifully. Every track is a joy and the CD gets better with repeated listening. Would you be happier? is pure fun. I am beginning to realize the Corrs are one of those few groups that come around every generation with the ability to connect through lyrics, music, and vocals with their audience in an amazing way. I don't think it would be possible if they were not creating the product from the ground up. What is astounding is they do it with covers on this album also. But they truly make the songs their own and they make you forget you have ever heard them before. Treat yourself or someone you know to this CD.
