Chieftains– The long black veil

Infos: 

On évoque souvent les origines blues et country du rock. On oublie que le répertoire traditionnel européen, et en particulier celte, a aussi sa part de responsabilité dans son développement. C'est en substance le message que l'on retient de cet album où les Chieftains (35 ans de carrière en 1995 !), groupe mythique de la nation celte, invitent à tour de bras une impressionnante armada de stars du rock. Sinead O'Connor, les Stones, Van Morrison, Tom Jones, Mark Knopfler, Sting... Ils sont tous venus pour reprendre ou réarranger des thèmes traditionnels. Une très belle réussite, à regrouper avec leur "Tears of Stone", autre tentative brillante de "cross-over" musical.

Infatigables messagers de la culture celte, les Chieftains ouvrent leur cercle à un tas d’amis pour le moins prestigieux. C’est ainsi que l’on retrouve ici Mark Knopfler, Sting, Van Morrison, Sinéad O’Connor et les Rolling Stones autour de relectures de thèmes traditionnels.
