Irish Drinking Songs For Cat Lovers by Marc Gunn
Marc Gunn is a singer/songwriter/musican/creative genius from Austin, Texas. I have been a fan of his for many years and have several of his cds. They are all in the line up for reviews but somehow this one bumped its way to the top. You don’t have to be the possession of any cats to enjoy this cd, but it does have a deeper meaning if you are. Marc has cleverly taken many of the most beloved Irish drinking songs and given them a special feline twist that is at once hysterical and deeply disturbing when you can visualize your cats doing these things all too clearly. Once you stop laughing be sure to listen again. In spite of the lyrics these songs are beautifully performed like all of Marc’s are. It’s hard to pick a favorite here but the Demented Cat Game would probably win out by a cat’s whisker. All I can say is, Andrew Lloyd Weber, eat your heart out.
