Words and music to over 50 Irish songs,
By Chicago Reader (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem Song Book (Paperback)
This is actually a reprint of a book first published in 1964 so you won't find any of the newer material here. However, what you will find is the lyrics and music (including guitar chords) to many classic Irish rebel songs and ballads. Perfect for anyone who enjoys this genre of music or grew up listening to the Clancys. I've discovered the correct words for several songs I "mis-heard" over the years. Includes Kevin Barry, Irish Rover, Tim Finnegan's Wake, The Old Orange Flute, Young Roddy Mcorley, The Wild Colonial Boy, The Rising of the Moon, Johnny McEldoo, and many more. I have only a few complaints: Surely by now the Clancy Brother's and Tommy Makem could have put together a complete songbook with ALL of their material? Also, the book has a few minor typos, is fairly small, and the spine will have to be broken if you want it to lay flat on a music stand. But overall, I'm delighted to have found this volume and must now purchase a few more for various family members.

The Ultimate Irish Songbook,
By
This review is from: Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem Song Book (Paperback)
This book includes a lot of great Irish songs. I bought mine in 1973, and I have repaired it several times as it is worn out. Songs from the rebellion, children's songs, shanties and other stuff.
If you enjoy Irish songs, buy it. Or even better, buy a dozen, so your friends can sing along.
