Our Take

Ah, the Chieftains. Those cheeky lads from Ireland who have been making our toes tap for decades. Voice of Ages sees them teaming up with some of the freshest talent around for a music mash-up that's as unpredictable as a drunken jig at a pub.

From Bon Iver to The Decemberists, the Chieftains have recruited a veritable who's who of indie darlings to put their own twist on traditional Irish folk tunes. And let me tell you, the results are nothing short of magical.

The album kicks off with a haunting rendition of "The Chieftains Reunion" featuring Americana crooner Punch Brothers. The haunting vocals paired with the Chieftains' iconic pipes create a sound that's as enchanting as it is toe-tappingly good.

But it's not all somber tunes and wistful ballads. The Chieftains inject plenty of their signature mischief and cheer into tracks like "The Frost is All Over" featuring the energetic duo Punch Brothers, and the rollicking "Carolan's Concerto" featuring the incomparable Imelda May.

With Voice of Ages, The Chieftains prove that they're still at the top of their game, mixing tradition with innovation and creating a sound that's as timeless as it is fresh. So grab a pint, put on your dancing shoes, and let The Chieftains take you on a musical journey that's sure to leave you breathless. Cheers!
