Waking Ned Devine: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

• Shrink-wrapped

Traditional Irish instrumentation mixes with classical orchestration on the soundtrack to <I>Waking 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>
