Whiskey In The Jar | Irish Ballads from Legends of Irish Folk [Vinyl]

When The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem made their legendary appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in New York in March 1961, a young Bob Dylan had just arrived in the city. He must have sat up and listened. While on the other side of the Atlantic, The Dubliners certainly did.
Together, these two groups took up the mantle and an Irish folk revival was born. Their influences spanned seas, oceans and generations and from their cloth legendary musical paths were woven and crossed.
Tommy Makem, Paddy Reilly, Johnny McEvoy, Patsy Watchorn, Finbar Furey and many others, have created an enduring appreciation and love of Irish folk music which is firmly entwined in our musical heritage today. Like a good whiskey, this collection is a blend of perfect ingredients. To hear them together is a rare and unmissable treat.
