You can take the man out of Ireland, but you can't take the Gaelic spirit out of the man. John McDermott, a lynchpin of the acclaimed Irish Tenors, covers a lot of ground on A Time to Remember. Great American Songbook standards ("Try to Remember," "When I Grow Too Old to Dream," "As Time Goes By, "I'll Be Seeing You") mingle with material both more contemporary ("And I Love You So") and more traditional ("The Battle Hymn of the Republic"). Still, of course, there's always room for songs that speak fondly of his homeland. "Ye Banks and Braes," "The Last Rose of Summer," "Song for the Mira," as well as the unofficial Irish national anthem, "Danny Boy," are also sung with all the glorious expressiveness we associate with McDermott. A citizen of the world, McDermott remains, at heart, a songful scion of Eire.
