CD ReviewsFiona Fahl'...SHANE IS A TRUE SOLDIER OF DESTINY! Scott A. Weigel | 08/18/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "An excellent C.D. Shane is like a demented-talented alchemist with his creativity for Irish folk/punk. I recommend this C.D. to anyone. His knack for twisting words in order to get the proper poetic standpoint is what drew me in...His "I don't give a damn" attitude helped also. I enjoyed all of the songs on this album. If you have never heard the Pogues, I recommend this album to get your spirit ready. If you don't like it, then you must be dead or a limey bastard!" OK Stuff Scott A. Weigel | San Francisco, CA | 01/13/2000 (2 out of 5 stars) "This release from Shane is definitely one of his worst. I have listened to it quite a bit and given it more than a chance. The melodies are not nearly as creative as his past efforts. The recording is also pretty bad. His voice is not nearly as strong as it used to be either. I would only reccomend this release to fans as it is not nearly as good as any pogues CD or the Snake." A rewarding listen if you persevere Tommy O'Toole | Carlisle, UK | 04/14/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is an album that you'll return to again and again, and one with hidden depths. Shane's most consistent work since The Pogues' 'If I Should Fall from Grace with God', he mixes Irish folk with a country twang and washes of slide guitar, rock'n'roll and dub reggae. If not a concept album, this seems to progress in theme, from the brashness and bravado towards the start with 'Paddy Rolling Stone', 'Rock'n'Roll Paddy' and 'Back in the County Hell', through more sensitive numbers like 'Lonesome Highway' and 'Mother Mo Chroi' to a kind of wistful nihilism towards the end with 'St. John of Gods' and its world-weary refrain of "F yez all, f yez all". The lyrics are by turns cynical, caustic, gentle and funny (the reggae pastiche 'B & I Ferry' praises "Mighty, mighty Jar"), and a flavour of the hazy world of MacGowan is conveyed. Tragic beauty in the most unlikely of places."
