Product Description

The Corr family's music hit big in Europe before making it's way to America, so the U.S. label folks had a little time to prepare something special for the American release of TALK ON CORNERS. Consequently, the U.S. edition of the album contains songs not included on the original European album, aswell as additional remixes of some of the tunes.
The Corrs' mixture of contemporary pop with traditional Irish influences is certain to appeal to audiences in both camps. Any album that features guest appearances from both David Foster and the Chieftains is bound to have some serious cross-market appeal. The Corr siblings are no instrumental slouches either, and their tasty contributions on traditional pop/rock instruments (as well as tin whistle, bodhran, etc.) are the foundation of the genre-defying construct that is TALK ON CORNERS.

From Amazon.com
Having created a worldwide sensation with their albums Forgiven, Not Forgotten and Talk on Corners, Ireland's Corrs await the hit that will break them wide open in America. To that end, the group (who've earned a Rolling Stones openers slot) has issued a retooled version of its sophomore set, featuring five songs recast by some of Europe's hottest mixmasters, including K-Klass ("So Young"), Tin Tin ("What Can I Do?" and "Runaway," the latter song being from the group's debut), and "Dreams" (the Stevie Nicks song, remixed by Todd Terry, who turned Everything but the Girl's "Missing" into a smash). The new mixes for the most part aren't radical departures from the originals but strip away some elements, and add some spit and polish to others. "Dreams" is notable for taking the song even harder toward the dance floor without losing its appealing Celtic edge. The rest of the album is the same as the original version of Talk on Corners minus a few tracks, but still including their lovely version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing." --Daniel Durchholz

Customer Reviews

Talk On Corners
A lot better trhan the original version so young is a lot better and what can i do dreams are all great tracks my favorites from this album are dreams runaway remix queen of hollywood when he's not around so young and what can i do 10/10 must buy!

Nice and easy listening
I used to be a big fan of The Corrs when they first came out, and I really enjoyed listening to this allbum. It has really nice songs that aren't too heavy listening and Andrea Corr has a lovely, soft, simple voice along with the others who harmonise perfectly. A nice, traditional pop album that has a nice Irish theme to it.

Unnecessary remix version - Go for the original

I loved the original version so much so I bought this Remixed version when it came out. What a disappointment. This CD is packed with pointless remixes. Go for the original. Don't make the mistake I made.
