"Off The Wagon" is the much anticipated 4th CD from the Lads. While keeping true to the sound that has made them crowd favorites in North Texas, these recordings represent a greater range of Celtic styles than on past Seamus Stout CDs. There are some of the expected pub hits like "As I Roved Out" and "The Scotsman's Kilt", but also several slow and beautiful melodies like "Si Bheag Si Mhor" and "Niel Gow's Fiddle". The first of those includes the wonderful sound of a Harp accompanying the recognized Fiddle/Whistle/Flute melody line.

The mixing of these tracks is a bit more polished that on past recordings. There is still the "energetic feel", but more care was taken in separating sounds and creating unique, pleasing voices for each performer. The last two tracks are live recordings from Trinity Hall Irish Pub in Dallas. You can tell that these guys love the crowds and the feeling is mutual.

If you have any questions about the band (upcoming CDs, recommended songs, performance dates/locations, etc.), please feel free to contact us through the email function on this page, our website (www.seamusstout.com) or our MySpace Music page (www.myspace.com/seamusstout).
