Excellent sound quality!,
By Candace Scott (Lake Arrowhead, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Top O The Morning A/H Irish Co (Audio CD)
Most Bing fans will have all of these songs already on other CD collections, but this set has truly outstanding sound quality. These are remastered takes and the difference clearly shows. When Bing hits the final high note (singing the word "lullaby") on Too Ra Loo Ra Loo Ral, it's never sounded more crisp, clear and beautiful. There is absolutely no superfluous background noise or hiss on any of these wonderful recordings. My favorite is Bing's version of Danny Boy, which is darn near definitive. Many people prefer a tenor's version to this song, ala Dennis Day, but Bing's baritone owns this song. When Irish Eyes Are Smiling is another gem and the phrasing on this quiet song is exquisite.Another highlight is the somber, haunting Galway Bay. Again, no one sings this song like Crosby. I highly recommend this CD for novice Crosby fans and even for long-time Bing followers. You will be astounded as the high quality sound. It sounds as if der Bingle is sitting in your living room, singing directly to you. Now that's a fine idea!

Who Better Than Himself,
By Alice Kane "Collie Girl" (North-Central IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Top O The Morning A/H Irish Co (Audio CD)
The songs in this collection are Irish classics. Bing Crosby is an Irish American classic. His dear old mother's family came from County Cork, Ireland. Who better than Himself to sing of the Emerald Isle? Bing's rendition of When Irish Eyes Are Smiling couldn't be better. And I guess everyone is familiar with his Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral, from the movie, Going My Way. A treasure if ever there was one! I don't think anyone ever sang I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen any better than the Old Groaner. And Two Shillelagh O'Sullivan makes me laugh out loud every time I hear it. What a wonderful Irish drinking song! I can just imagine being in a pub in Ireland, listening to THIS one! How happy I was to finally hear the words to The Isle Of Innisfree! I had only ever heard it in the movie The Quiet Man, and never even knew there were words to it! This is my favorite song in the whole collection. And right now, as I write this, I keep hearing Did Your Mother Come From Ireland? over and over in my head. It keeps playing, gently, gently....No problem-I love it. There are 24 great songs in this collection and the price is unbelievably low! This is a must for all Bing Crosby fans. If you don't already have it, get it soon. Sure and you'll be that happy that you did. Thank you,

No One Better Than Himself!,
By Alice Kane "Collie Girl" (North-Central IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Top O The Morning A/H Irish Co (Audio CD)
Well, this is the best of the best of Irish music! Sure, and who better than Himself to sing these wonderful old classics! Bing was in top form as he sang each of these songs. Not a disappointment in the whole lot! A few I'd never heard before, and it's that glad I am to have them NOW! This 24 songs collection is a real bargan at such a low price. I couldn't believe the price! All you Bing Crosby fans out there who don't own this CD by now......well, all I can say is, it's ashamed ye should be! Bye it now and start enjoying the Irish side of Bing. His dear ole mother came from Ireland. County Cork it was. Only an Irishman could sing these Irish classics so convincingly. Thank you,
