‘Reel Music-The Film Scores’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. Now signed to The Chieftains’s Virgin Records, the title track from second album “Reel Music-The Film Scores” leads The Chieftains’s back-to-school campaign. The Chieftains was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from The Chieftains and Reel Music-The Film Scores together. Reel Music-The Film Scores touched my soul like nothing else.
I was truly moved when I heard Loyals March. This track is clearly meant to showcase The Chieftains’s vocal abilities. Setting Sail is a song that definitely grows on you and becomes an album favorite. French Leave - arguably the best track on Reel Music-The Film Scores album. Voice of The Chieftains in Blind Pew is honest and guitar work is subtle and poignant. Treasure Cave pretty much defines how I feel spiritually. Although The Hispanola/Silver and Loyals March is very melodic it is far from sad. Love Theme-Barry Lyndon is nothing but pure genius. Love Theme-Three Wishes For Jamie - A strong beat. The Matchmaking is pretty funky and mellow. Reel Music-The Film Scores couldn’t start better than with the up up-beat title track Mountain Fall/Main Theme. Love Theme-Tristan And Isolde is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. March of The King of Cornwall motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. The Falcon - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of The Chieftains. Escape and Chase is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after Reel Music-The Film Scores have ended. Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. Main Theme-The Grey Fox is a striking and quite long song. The French March-The Year of The French - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. I believe Cooper’s Tune/The Bolero is one of the most perfect, heartfelt songs ever written. Closing Theme & March is a very catchy tune.
