4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent vintage Irish Collection,
This review is from: Farewell to Ireland (Audio CD)
Got this for Christmas from my husband. Excellent vintage era Irish music. I love the true to Irish lyrics in these songs. I would recommend.

Music for Popular Consumption in the 20s and 30s, not the real folk deal,

This review is from: Farewell to Ireland (Audio CD)
I bought this thinking I would get an amazing library of Irish tunes to learn. Instead, it was comedy routines and "I love me whiskey" songs and only a few instrumental tunes, with most of the song and instrumental tracks having a jokey piano accompaniment played by someone who totally disregards their harmonic direction - inevitably muddy noise ensues. So, get this if you want a period flavor but be prepared to hear a lot of junk from a time when people were trying to make Irish music sound like normal European pop music instead of just picking a good drone and letting these interesting old music styles be.
