THE BELLS OF DUBLIN is an ecclectic assortment of traditional Christmas melodies performed by The Chieftains and an equally ecclectic assortment of guest performers. Collaborations with Elvis Costello, Jackson Brown, Marianne Faithfull and others provide a unique alternative to typical Christmas music. In addition, The Chieftains' trademark good cheer shines throughout the album, making this desired listening all year 'round. Highlights include "The Wexford Carol" with Nanci Griffith, "O Holy Night" with Ricky Lee Jones and "O Come All Ye Faithful" with The Renaissance Singers.
