Our Take

The Clancy Brothers & RO are back, and they're definitely older, but are they any wiser? Well, that's up for debate. Their latest album, aptly titled "Older But No Wiser," is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for fans of Irish folk music.

The opening track, "Whiskey You're the Devil," sets the tone for the album with its infectious energy and traditional sound. The harmonies are tight, and the instrumentation is spot on, showcasing the Clancy Brothers' years of experience in the industry.

One standout track is "The Wild Colonial Boy," a rollicking tune that will have you tapping your toes and raising a pint in no time. The Brothers' voices blend together beautifully, creating a sense of camaraderie that is infectious.

However, not all is sunshine and rainbows on this album. Some tracks feel a bit repetitive and lack the spark that made the Clancy Brothers famous in the first place. "The Leaving of Liverpool" falls flat compared to other versions of the classic song, leaving listeners wanting more.

Overall, "Older But No Wiser" is a solid effort from the Clancy Brothers & RO. While it may not reach the heights of their earlier work, it is still a fun and enjoyable listen for fans of traditional Irish folk music. So grab a pint, sit back, and enjoy the sounds of these seasoned pros. Cheers!
