Equally beloved by fans of Celtic-influenced new age, folk-pop, and middle-of-the-road easy listening, the Corrs are perhaps the only band equally likely to be enjoyed by fans of Enya, the Cranberries, and Celine Dion. DREAMS: THE ULTIMATE CORRS COLLECTION is a solid 20-track anthology of favorites from throughout the Irish siblings' career, from their early days as a fairly traditional Irish folk act to their hugely successful adult contemporary pop phase and beyond. Favorites like their hit covers of Stevie Nicks's "Dreams" and the Rolling Stones' "Ruby Tuesday" sit alongside popular original tunes like the worldwide smash "Angel" and a quartet of traditional Irish folk tunes performed acoustically.
Dirty Linen (p.50) - "There's an interesting take on the Ryan Adams song 'When Stars Go Blue'....[The album is] European pop with a slight Irish twist..."
Bands consisting of family members are nothing new to the pop-rock world (Jackson 5, Hanson, etc.), but The Corrs are undoubtedly the most successful "family affair" band to ever hail from Ireland. Such releases as FORGIVEN NOT FORGOTTEN, TALK ON CORNERS, and IN BLUE made the band of three sisters and one brother a sensation back home and throughout Europe during the 1990s and early 2000s, while forging serious inroads to the U.S. pop market.
