The Chieftains have always worked in their own carefully defined middle ground between pop crossovers like Clannad and rigid, inflexible traditionalists. Maybe that's why they're one of the longest-lived and best-loved groups in all of Irish music. They never lose touch with tradition, but as past recordings have proven, they're not afraid to work with artists from different musical worlds. TEARS OF STONE is an album of collaborations with pop artists on original tunes (Joni Mitchell sings on a version of her own "Magdalene Laundries") and traditional ones (Bonnie Raitt proves an excellent folk balladeer on "A Stor Mo Chroi"). Bluesy American siren Joan Osborne's take on "Raglan Road" may not equal the version Van Morrison once recorded with the Chieftains, but what could? Countrywoman Sinead O'Connor puts in a particularly strong appearance on the traditional ballad "Factory Girl." |
