Notes & Personnel Info |  | The Corrs: Jim Corr (guitar); Sharon Corr (violin); Andrea Corr (tin whistle); Caroline Corr (bodhran). | | Personnel: Anthony Drennan (guitar); Ronan Dooney (piccolo); John McSherry (Uilleann pipe); Michael Buckley (saxophone); Keith Duffy (bass guitar); Matt Chamberlain, Kieran Kiely, Jason Duffy (drums); BBC Concert Orchestra. | | Equally beloved by fans of Celtic-influenced new age, folk-pop, and middle-of-the-road easy listening, the Corrs are perhaps the only band equally likely to be enjoyed by fans of Enya, the Cranberries, and Celine Dion. DREAMS: THE ULTIMATE CORRS COLLECTION is a solid 20-track anthology of favorites from throughout the Irish siblings' career, from their early days as a fairly traditional Irish folk act to their hugely successful adult contemporary pop phase and beyond. Favorites like their hit covers of Stevie Nicks's "Dreams" and the Rolling Stones' "Ruby Tuesday" sit alongside popular original tunes like the worldwide smash "Angel" and a quartet of traditional Irish folk tunes performed acoustically. | | Like Canada's Great Big Sea, familial Irish collective the Corrs dutifully represent the "middle of the road" between slick, factory-made adult contemporary pop and traditional Celtic music. The Corrs' enormous popularity around the world is a testament to their innate accessibility, both musically and visually (let's face it, they're pretty hot), a feeling that has been expertly preserved on Dreams: The Corrs Collection. All of the hits and fan favorites are here, including "Summer Sunshine," "Long Night," and "Angel," but it's essentially just an updated version (tracks from Home and Borrowed Heaven are included) of 2001's Best of the Corrs. ~ James Christopher Monger |
