Unknown Contributor Roles: Fran McPhail; Phil Gallery; Gerry Cullen. The Voice Squad is an Irish vocal trio consisting of tenors Phil Gallery and Fran McPhail and bass Gerry Cullen. Although some listeners will hear echoes of such British groups as the Watersons and the Copper Family in their unaccompanied harmony style, this approach is highly unusual in the Irish tradition, and the effect is spectacularly lovely. Gallery, whose voice is clean and strong, sings lead most of the time, while McPhail sings high harmonies in his warm, muted high tenor, and Cullen glides and rumbles below. The program is a winning mix of traditional love songs ("The Brown and the Yellow Ale," "Sarah Jane"), romantic laments ("Annan Waters," "A Fond Kiss"), and even a few Christmas carols ("Good People All," "The Coventry Carol"). The group's arrangements are complex, yet utterly and effortlessly beautiful. Anyone who loves the traditional music of Ireland and Britain will fall instantly in love with this wonderful recording. ~ Rick Anderson
