Fifty years is a pretty long time by anyone's measure. If we look back at what's happened over the past 50 years, it suffices to say that the world has seen some pretty outstanding and some pretty radical changes and developments. And when was the last time we heard of a band reaching a 50th anniversary? Well, we can name one, and it's one that have put together a very special album to mark the occasion of their golden birthday, Dublin's The Chieftains . The Chieftains, one of the most celebrated traditional Irish [...]
At some point tomorrow while you're enjoying your St. Patrick's Day festivities, we highly suggest giving a listen to something other than obligatory U2 and Van Morrison that will be emanating from just about any bar, restaurant or coffee shop that you walk into. While nothing against those two acts, we'd like to point you in the direction of the legendary Irish folk act The Chieftains , who are celebrating their 50th anniversary in 2012. Earlier this year the band released their latest studio effort Voice Of Ages , an excellent collection that saw The Chieftains collaborate with [...]

Los Angeles Times (MCT) -- SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - As leading ambassadors of Ireland's traditional music for half a century, the Chieftains have long been lauded for promoting and nurturing both folk and world music.

The album was released last week as part of a celebration around...

It's been a long haul these last couple of weeks, with new projects and courses to teach at work, and budget season fast approaching at the local school committee table. School vacation was cancelled, and the skies and ground remain dry as a bone despite the calendrical claim of New England February, leaving us grey and wan in the pale light of almost-winter above the equatorial line. And here at home, the stress is sky-high, thanks to an unfortunate incident at the beginning of the month that turned us into a single-car family struggling to make ends and [...]
Cursive - I Am Gemini (Saddle Creek) A idéia é bem batida: irmãos gêmeos, um bom e um mal, a dualidade da vida, anjos e demonios, etc, mas vindo de Tim Kasher até algo contado inúmeras vezes pode soar extremamente complexo. Assim, I Am Gemini é um disco conceitual com uma imensa história e diversos personagens por trás. Warmer Warmer e The Sun and The Moon trazem um Kasher bem acessivel e contagiante, enquanto This House is Alive mostra a densidade [...]

The Chieftains - Down in the Willow Garden (feat. Bon Iver)
The Chieftains release the first taste of the collaborative album Voice Of Ages .
Winter has finally arrived in mid-New England, dropping just enough snow on the ground to keep us inside while the kids head out for sledding and snowplay. And so we spend a mellow Saturday at home by the pellet stove, coffee in hand and slippers on our feet, letting soft music serve as the soundtrack for our lives. We'll have our usual full weekend feature tomorrow, but for now, here's some songs that truly speak for themselves. The Chieftains ft. Bon Iver: Down In The Willow Garden (trad.) [...]

Listen to [...]
Justin Vernon of Bon Iver lends his unmistakable vocals for a track off the Irish legends The Chieftains latest project, Voice Of Ages . The Chieftains are celebrating 50 years in the music industry, which an insanely long time together. I'd like to throw back a couple of shots of Powers with these old heads and collect some knowledge about my heritage. Perhaps he can recount the tale of when the Finns and the Egans joined tribes. They also have a track with The Decemberists on Voice Of Ages . Seems both of these great [...]
