Traditional Irish instrumentation mixes with classical orchestration on the soundtrack to IWaking Ned Devine/I, and the results are impressive, to say the least. On "Red Herrings," a traditional fiddle-and-whistle lineup gets truly funky, and other tracks brim with the playful innocence of a tiny Irish hamlet. The Waterboys' single "Fisherman's Blues" is, of course, included as well. But the score that Irish composer Shaun Davey has created is magnificent--a delightful mix of old and new with some truly great playing. I--James Hendrickson/I

If you enjoyed the movie, you will enjoy this CD. I purchased it for my son who really likes this version of "The Parting Glass". (the last scene of the movie). This would be appropriate for any St. Patrick's Day party.
Sweet fun January 4, 2007

A movie to watch over and over again, and I seldom see a movie twice. Loved Ian Bannen, David Kelly and the entire kooky cast. Music is terrific too. Was particularly impressed with James Nesbitt's singing, quite soulful for a pig farmer!
Rich, lively, and sweet December 23, 2006

Previous reviewers have said it so eloquently already, but I have to chime in that I agree. This album is lively and sweet. Every song so appropriately complements it's respective scene in the film and listening to the music takes you back to each scene and the beautiful scenery of the Isle of Man all over again. Rich Irish instumentation - uillean pipes and all - make it authentic. A gem.
