Along with the arrival of his first-ever U.S. album,
Raised on Songs and Stories, comes a live DVD,
Raised on Songs and Stories: The Concert. Recorded live at one of Dublin's most renowned concert venues,
the Olympia Theater, favorites from throughout
Red Hurley's career (he's a longtime hitmaker back in his homeland) are showcased. Wonderfully shot and recorded,
Hurley's fine voice is on display throughout, as he is joined by a backing group that includes a traditional band, strings, and backing singers. But it is
Hurley who is the undisputed attraction here, as evidenced by such tracks as
"I Believe," Ennio Morricone's
"You're Still You," and
"Kilkelly Ireland." Also included are five additional bonus songs, as well as an "exclusive" interview with
Hurley.
