Our Take

CIARAN TOURISH / KEVIN DOHERTY - Hotel Fiesta

Rating: 8.7/10

In the wild world of traditional Irish music, Ciaran Tourish and Kevin Doherty stand out like a pair of neon leprechauns on St. Patrick's Day. Their latest collaboration, "Hotel Fiesta," is a whirlwind of foot-stomping jigs and heart-wrenching ballads that will have you reaching for a pint of Guinness faster than you can say "sláinte."

From the moment the fiddle and guitar kick in on the opening track, "The Ballad of Banjo Bill," you know you're in for a rollicking good time. Tourish's virtuosic fiddling is matched only by Doherty's soulful vocals, creating a musical partnership that is as tight as a bodhrán drumhead.

But it's not all high-energy shenanigans on "Hotel Fiesta." Tracks like "The Lament of the Lost Leprechaun" showcase Tourish and Doherty's sensitive side, with haunting melodies that will linger in your ears long after the last note has faded.

The production on this album is top-notch, with each instrument sparkling like a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. And the songwriting is equally impressive, with lyrics that are as witty as a leprechaun's limerick and as poignant as a Paddy's Day hangover.

In short, "Hotel Fiesta" is a must-listen for any fan of Irish music, or anyone looking for a good craic. So grab a pint, put on your dancing shoes, and prepare to be whisked away to a musical land where the fiddles are fast and the Guinness flows like water. Cheers!
