Synopsis

Product Description

For over a decade, SOLAS has been recognized as the most influential Irish-American super group. On THE TURNING TIDE, the band delivers the raw instrumental virtuosity, the power, the rhythmic 'hump', and the dynamic vocal blend that no other band since The Bothy Band has mastered. THE TURNING TIDE offers well-conceived set of tunes and songs that share an underlying theme of social commentary. Renditions of Josh Ritter's 'Girl The War', Bruce Springsteen's 'The Ghost of Tom Joad', and Richard Thompson's 'Poor Ditching Boy' are as topical and engaging as anything SOLAS has ever done.

CD Reviews

How do they do it?

KEVIN C. DELAHANTY | Newburyport, MA United States | 02/25/2010

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Straight away I'll admit to my bias: I've been a fan of Solas since their first album. Therefore, you may interpret my review with a grain of salt. However, you will not be disappointed in the least by Solas' latest CD. How can such a small profile band create such a stellar sound? How do they craft such wonderful interpretations of established songs? How do they avoid the pitfall of "cookie-cutter formulaic music" which lies in wait to trip up every other musical group? If you want to hear genuine Celtic-flavored music that is either light as a butterfly or strong enough to get your foot tapping you simply cannot miss with Solas. These folks are exceptional musicians and they ply their trade extraordinairly well."

The new Solas album

J. Best | West Milford, NJ | 03/16/2010

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Solas is one of my favorite Irish/American groups. "Turning Tide" is a wonderful new album

and features songs by both Richard Thompson and Bruce Soringsteen done with Solas' Irish twist.

If you've never seen Solas live,(which you really should), this album is the next best thing to being at one of their shows.

I DO have one small gripe. There's not enough of Winnie's fiddle at the forefront for my taste but I'm a fiddler.

Get this album if you like modern Irish music."
