The Young Dubliners new album, 'Saints and Sinners,' continues on from 'With All Due Respect: The Irish Sessions,' with their unique blend of Rock and Celtic music seamlessly bound together in a high energy, anthemic and lyrically poignant mix. With a powerful collaboration with Kenny Wayne Shepherd, the Dubs move from ballad to barn burner with ease, documenting as they go the chaotic world in which they find themselves. From politics to life as an internationally touring band, the new effort from these handsome lads tackles it all with the enthusiasm just in time for St. Patrick s Day.
"This album is all Dub....and that's a wonderful thing. I enjoyed all the tracks, took the time to sit down with the lyrics to understand the meaning of each song. My favorites on this album: In the End, My Town, Buy You a Life, Love Anymore. With the Dubs, it's as much about the lyrics as it is the music... IMHO. If you can't hear the Irish influence here, you're not listening hard enough. If you need more Irish, buy their last CD, "With All Due Respect: Irish Sessions"."

"This band is the most un-recognized group of talented A+ musicians I have ever heard. Been following them for years now, and this new cd Saints and Sinners truly shows what this band is all about. Rock, Irish, kick-butt good music. If you've never seen them live, you are missing an event of epic proportions. I love this new cd, it absolutely showcases each musicians contribution.......BUY IT!"
Excellent!

"The Young Dubliners are all about the fans and this time around - They did not disappoint! Every song makes you want to get up from your chair and sing along. The Dubs' high energy live show is finally captured on this album! It's a great album for St. Patrick's day (and every day for that matter!)"
The Best Dubs Yet!

"First, let me confess that I am serious Young Dubs fan. I have all their CDs and have traveled several times to see them play.
Saints and Sinners is my favorite Dubs CD now. I love every song -- nothing to skip over on this CD to get to the better ones. Several songs are classic Dubs rockers, and in addition to that there are some great new sounds to enjoy including a Cindy Wasserman's singing with Keith and the fascinating sounds on Chance, the last track. Plus, in great Dubs tradition, Saoirse is a great instrumental. I'm listening to this CD over and over with no plans to stop.
The only thing better than listening to S&S is getting out to hear these guys play live. Don't miss them!

Perhaps their finest hour yet...

"From the very first play this CD grabbed my attention. It is contagious, exceedingly well produced and just darn great. They have finally managed to get their live energy across in a studio album. If you are reading this review pondering whether to buy- just buy it."
