    Give 'em a chance!

    Why the critics always knock them and dismiss their music as bombastic nonsense is something I will never understand. This album in particular is beautiful and uplifting. Their the best act ever to come out of Ireland (besides The Pogues, The Water...boys and The Indigo Girls) - and that includes U2. A must-have for anyone who appreciates the power of emotional Celt-rock. Read more Less

    Hothouse Flowers prove their worth again and again with their excellent musicianship, lyrics, and style. One of my favorites in Irish music beyond the Pogues and the Waterboys...this disc is a must have for any true music appreciators collection (al...ong with Home and People) Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Songs From The Rain

  • All Music Guide

    With their third album, Songs from the Rain, Hothouse Flowers stepped away from their more anthemic tendencies, creating their quietest record yet. Although their devotion to Van Morrison, Bruce Springsteen, and U2 is still apparent, their influences are beginning to blend together. While Songs From the Rain is the band's most musically diverse collection, it is hampered by an inconsistent set of material. Nevertheless, when the band does have a good song, such as "Be Good," they deliver it more convincingly than they ever before.

Biography

Hothouse Flowers

Ireland's Hothouse Flowers made a name for itself during the late '80s and early '90s with a passionate, bombastic fusion of rock roll with the rootsy sounds of Irish folk and American gospel.
