It's a party--a heavenly party, in fact--and Ceili Rain wants everyone to come. With a name stemming from the Gaelic word for "party," the Celtic pop-rock band's innovative instrumental mix includes everything from bagpipe to accordion to electric guitar, with an Irish twist. While the band's sound is distinctly Irish, their message applies to people with all types of backgrounds. "That's All the Lumber You Sent" presents a humorous approach to St. Peter judging a man's life at the gate of Heaven. This catchy tune both showcases the unique vocal range of lead singer/songwriter Bob Halligan, while explaining the importance of living a life pleasing to God rather than just "doing" things for Him. Another gem, "You Then Me Then You Then Me," explains the importance of yielding to and serving other people in keeping with Jesus' words, "The last shall be first and the first shall be last." If you're looking for some good Celtic music with rock 'n roll overtones, or you're just looking for a reason to kick up your heels, this album might be the solution.
