Review: The Cranberries – MTV Unplugged

The MTV Unplugged series is pretty legendary in its own right, with memorable and iconic performances from bands like Nirvana and Alice In Chains setting a high bar for others to try and reach for. Originally recorded at Brooklyn’s Howard Gilman Opera House on Valentine’s Day in 1995, The Cranberries’ MTV Unplugged session is finally getting a widespread and official release. The magic of the late-vocalist Dolores O’ Riordan, and her band’s performance in The Cranberries, is finally getting its proper day in the limelight with this stunning 9-track collection released today. You probably know all the songs by heart; from the vulnerable “Linger”, to the visceral delivery of “Zombie”, The Cranberries had a knack for writing legendary songs during the mid to late 90’s. The MTV Unplugged series continues to live on with grace on this ultra-memorable performance from The Cranberries.
