notes

From the CDs Liner Notes...

Although we are not all of Irish descent, everyone who performs on this CD is a grandchild of someone who came over to America on a boat, pursued by poverty or the failed politics of the old world, looking for a chance. Our grandparents arrived here with the name of a town, an address, perhaps a much read letter which stated that they were welcome, that there was work to be found, and that someone would be expecting them. Other than that, they had their hopes, a small cardboard chest filled with a life’s belongings, and a pocketful of lint.


"The Kitchen's third CD 'A Pocketful Of Lint' contains some of the best traditional Irish music there is - plus some great original tunes and songs. The musicianship is outstanding. A thoroughly entertaining CD - just what you'd expect from one of the top Irish bands in the Midwest. Buy a copy - you'll be glad you did." Al Kniola, Host of The Back Porch, 88.1 WVPE Public Radio

  • Brilliant!
    author: Jason Abercrombie

    I heard Roger the Shrubber on Marc Gunn's Irish and Celtic Music Podcast #39 and I had to have the whole CD.

  • This is what Irish music is-Most excellent!
    author: The Clan Kennedy Association

    This cd makes the listener want to hear the next recording. The title track is very well done,as are all of these tunes. Our Compliments! We do tell our friends and folks; this is what you would want to hear in Irish music, and our Kennedy members Love it!

  • soothing

    My daughter finds your music soothing so she listens to it before going to bed! Good Stuff!

  • Outstanding cd!
    author: MadKathryn

    I love "traditional" celtic music,you know, the kind that makes one laugh or cry in one's pint, or both all at once. This cd definitely delivers. I danced my car down the road all the way to work! I'll be buying more music by Kennedy's Kitchen.

  • Extremely enjoyable Celtic music
    author: Lloyd

    This CD has the rare virtue of having every single song that is a pleasure to one's ears. Well done from an Australian.

  • Another terrific recording by Kennedy's Kitchen
    author: Herman Kluge

    Because I have the earlier recordings, I eagerly awaited my copy of the new CD and Pocket of Lint did not disappoint. Once again, Kennedy's Kitchen produced terrific mix of tunes and stellar musicianship. I just wish I could get the band to come play in Texas!

  • So Easy to Listen too
    author: Norman

    Full of Great music, this CD has been playing in my car for 2 weeks now, and still not tired of it. If you like Irish music, Get this CD

  • Well Worth The Wait!
    author: Laura

    "A Pocketful of Lint" is an album that I had anticipated getting for just one song, however, Kennedy's Kitchen has delighted me with the rest of the songs. Thankfully I got myself an extra CD for when I wear this one out. (Their first two albums are also worth grabbing, no shortage of good music!)

  • Solid through and through
    author: Don Goldsmith

    Having purchased this cd for myself at Christmas time, it has spent alot of time in the Bose at work. From the first track to the last the quality of the recording by these musicians is excellent. The energy and commitment to each piece comes through in the work. I don't have a large collection of Irish music, but this cd has me looking to buy more!

  • Another great CD from Kennedy's Kitchen!
    author: Stewart in Seattle

    Thanks for another great CD. I must say Kennedy's Kitchen CDs are some of my favorites. They are very down-to-earth, not the glitzy over-produced Irish stuff one usually hears. I like the original songs and the tune sets are well done. Keep up the good work - it just gets better.

  • Excellent!
    author: Bernadette

    Delighted to have been introduced to KK...we love them ...so much so that most of our family received them for Christmas ...now being listened to in UK and NZ! Thank you.

  • Absolutly Fantastic and beautifully moving
    author: Nora

    This was one of the most beautiful cd's i've ever listened to. I've grown up in an irish family and because of that i've heard A LOT of irish music. This cd left it all behind. I am a huge fan of Kennedy's Kitchen and especially love their original songs.

  • Their best CD yet
    author: cheri & al

    Been following the Kitchen for years and this is their best CD yet. The quality, the variety of music, both traditional and original songs is just great. They are one of the best Irish groups in all of the midwest and this CD makes you feel like you are visiting Ireland every time you listen.

  • A wonderful Celtic sound, timeless and beautiful
    author: Mike

    You don't have to go to Eire to hear the haunting Celtic music we all enjoy. This is the best CD to date by the Kitchen (and predecessor Seamaisin). Two thumbs up!! (my sled was faster)

  • It rocks
    author: Tom Shaub Entertainment Coordinator, MIchigan Irish Fest

    "To hear Kennedy's Kitchen is to experience the heart of music, the culture of the songs being handed from musician to musician, the beauty of melody untouched by gimmick and the magic of this group of musicians coming together with one aim - to leave you, and them, breathless. Then, on the the next song, they'll have you partying and dancing as never before. One of America's best." Tom Schaub, Entertainment Director Michigan Irish Music Festival
