3.0 out of 5 stars first 15 tracks are repeats of the Vanguard album, March 23, 1999

As a long time Clancy Brothers fan, it is always good to see something new. But you should know before you buy this one, the first 15 tracks are a reissue of the 1965 Vanguard Liam Clancy album. But to have them plus 9 others all on one disk is still worth the price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pure, sweet and true -- Irish folk at its best, November 4, 1999

Just Liam's pure, lightly-brogish vocal and an acoustic guitar. Folk music doesn't get much better than this. True, more than half the album has been out on CD for awhile, but any true music fan will know this and gladly trade in the old one to get the 7 never-before-released tracks. Clancy was at his peak at this time (1963, I think) and it's definitely worth owning.

Liam Clancy is at his best on this CD where his style is that of a ballad singer. His voice and words are so clear. He reminds me of the clarity of Richard Dyer-Bennet. Although many of these songs are found on other albums the style of a single voice and an acoustic guitar gives them a new sound.
