Includes liner notes by Ciaran MacMathuna.\u003cbr\u003eThe ninth album by the Chieftains came at a traumatic time for the group, which had recently lost two founding members, tin whistle player Sean Potts and multi-instrumentalist Martin Tubridy, and was starting to be considered past its prime by some who felt that the ensemble had stagnated artistically. 1980's CHIEFTAINS 9: BOIL THE BREAKFAST EARLY blows a spirited raspberry to that idea.\u003cbr\u003eReplacing Potts and Tubridy with the enthusiastic flute player Matt Malloy (formerly of the Bothy Band and Planxty), the group sounds re-energized. They not only play the jigs and reels with newfound energy (at times recalling the lively cutting contests of the Scottish group Silly Wizard), but also invest more emotion and subtlety in graceful airs, particularly \"Bealach An Doirin.\" Indeed, the album's highest point is a solo vocal performance by bodhran player Kevin Conneff, the heartbreaking \"When a Man's in Love.\" At a time when many bands would be packing it in, BOIL THE BREAKFAST EARLY finds the Chieftains gearing up to explore new musical territories, as they would do throughout the following decade.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45346466726175,"sku":"602438928330","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/9b199e3cc3458a0e2de41274720d1b9d_f89f0895-5622-4f3c-97a2-f8a3363dfec7.jpg?v=1781358574","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/chieftains-9-boil-the-breakfast-early","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
