Album Notes Recorded in the venerable Irish veterans' favorite Cape Cod venue circa August 2008, LIVE AT THE MELODY TENT is a boisterous, often moving distillation of the band's Celtic folk-cum-pub rock legacy. The 14 songs were hand-selected by the group, leaving it no wonder that virtually every track, be it the ska-inspired hopefulness of "Will It Ever Stop Raining?" or romantic drive and handclap/sing-along chorus of "That's What She Said Last Night," enthusiastically encapsulates the group's restless spirit. They may not be as debauched as the Pogues or as righteously stripped-down as Billy Bragg, but MELODY TENT is an awesome testament to their status as fierce songwriters and proud countrymen.
