	TrouserPress.com :: Black 47
		Named to invoke memories of Ireland's 19th-century potato famine (the one Sinéad O'Connor once claimed didn't occur), Black 47 is a bizarre and clumsy stew of horns, hip-hopping electronic percussion, Gaelic traditionalism, electric guitar and gurgly overwrought vocals.
		The rest of the disc mixes historical righteousness (the anti-British "James Connolly" and "Black 47") and personal rambunctiousness ("Maria's Wedding," "Our Lady of the Bronx") in a welter that is overwrought and exhausting.
		Switching from one old new wave star to another, Black 47 got ex-Talking Head Jerry Harrison to produce Home of the Brave in wan imitation of the RandB phase of Dexy's Midnight Runners, the horn-driven band in which Black 47 saxman Geoff Blythe is said to have once played.
