I just about fell into the cliché of stating that "you'll either love or hate this" but thankfully realised that I did neither. Undoubtedly the idea is worth a giggle, and is the kind of joke that with a few in, you can build on, in a setting like a late night session. But over the duration of a 15 track album it feels like that tongue in the cheek has been planted there so long it's beginning to be painful. At times too you can't help feeling that there is a wish to return to the halcyon days of a hit single a la "Hey Jude" without too obviously chucking the hat into the ring again. Much of the music stands up though, the two Beatles tracks being particularly susceptible to the De Dannan treatment, with "Suspicious Minds" and "The Rocks of Bawn/Take it to the Limit" also being worth repeated listens. On the down side, the twinning of "Sally Gardens/Lay Down Sally" probably seemed a cracker at the time - in reality, Clapton's tune is simply exposed as not being in the same league; whereas, on some of the others the echoey, syrupy guitar/bouzouki of Alec Finn propels them into muzak territory. Unless you knew that it was De Danaan you might be inclined to think it was some old duffers playing for a tea dance. I think it has enough merit to keep it on my car player at present and I do play it quite a bit, but alas never without resort to the skip button.
