The appropriately named
Corrs
are an Irish pop group consisting of
Andrea Corr
on lead vocals and tin whistle;
Caroline Corr
on drums, bodhran, and vocals;
Jim Corr
on keyboards, guitar, and vocals; and
Sharon Corr
on violin and vocals. The traditional Irish instruments like the bodhran and tin whistle add a twist to the pop melodies of tracks like the title track and
"The Right Time,"
where they are allowed some solo time. The Irish musical background of the band members is most obviously heard in
's violin work, used here more like a traditional Irish fiddle than a true classical violin. There are glimpses of
the Corrs
' skill as instrumentalists on tracks like
"Erin Shore,"
the introduction on the album. There are a few of these instrumentals placed throughout the album, but unfortunately, none are much longer than two minutes. The focus is on the adult contemporary mid-tempo songs.
The Corrs
are more reminiscent of vocal pop group
Wilson Phillips
than traditional Irish bands like
the Chieftains
