The album is now THE BEST ALBUM OF CELTIC ROCK & PUNK FOR 2011, for the second year in a row they been no. 1, at the Paddyrock.com site for the best album 2011!
Following on from their self titled debut album SIR REG, which topped many of the best of 2010 lists in the genre. They take it one step further with a work that sums up what it's like to live in this chaotic and unpredictable world of ours.
With songs sung by an Irishman and backed by fantastic Swedish musicians, Dubliner Brendan Sheehy and his companions certainly know how to challenge the listener's ear.
A quote from a review in Fanreal.com:
”The entire album proves that Sir Reg can stand shoulder to shoulder with Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Barry McGuire and other greats who used music to shine the spotlight on things that the Powers the Be want pushed under the rug. Along with capturing the anger everyone is feeling, Sir Reg also delivers really great music. Each track is completely different. Each song is musically rich and you will find yourself singing along in solidarity.”
SIR REG is for lovers of Flogging Molly, The Pogues, The Men They Couldn’t Hang, The Dubliners, Dropkick Murphys and others in the folk/celtic/rock/punk style.
The songs deal with issues of hardship, emigration, pain and the desperation that many of our people are faced with, as well as the hopes and dreams that we share and the belief in a better future.
