Review by Robert St-Jacques

The Chieftains 1 Et 2, the debut album of the Irish traditional music group Chieftains, is a masterpiece of its genre. The album, released in 1963, was a groundbreaking achievement in the world of traditional Irish music. Featuring the virtuosic playing of Paddy Moloney on the uilleann pipes, along with the talents of Sean Potts, Michael Tubridy, Martin Fay, and David Fallon, the album showcases the rich and varied musical traditions of Ireland.

The album takes listeners on a journey through the different styles of traditional Irish music, from the lively jigs and reels of "Se Fath Mo Bhuartha" and "The Connemara Stocking" to the hauntingly beautiful ballads of "An Poc Ar Buile" and "The Green Fields of America." The Chieftains' skillful playing and tight arrangements make each track a joy to listen to, and the album as a whole is a testament to the enduring power of traditional Irish music.
