Over 100 classic Irish songs in three categories: Thro' Tara's Halls, All in Americay, and The Troubles. These songs chronicle the struggle and voyages of Irish and Irish-American history. From the polished lines of Moore and Yeats, to the rollicking rhymes of Percy French, to the anguished cry of the wife upon seeing her crippled husband back from the wars, from Bendemeer's Stream to Brooklyn City...all the good times and hard times in between are portrayed in these songs. Include historical information, melody line, lyrics, and guitar chords.

About the Author
The many facets of Jerry Silverman's musical background and experience have combined to make him one of this country's most prolific authors of music books. It was his research for his master's thesis in musicology (on blues guitar technique) at New York University that launched his musical literary career. Since the publication of his first book, Folk Blues, in 1958, he has had more than 100 titles published, including method books on all levels for guitar, banjo, fiddle, and recorder, as well as American and international songbooks with piano and guitar accompaniment. In addition, Mr. Silverman maintains an active teaching and performing schedule.

This review is from: Mel Bay Presents Songs of Ireland (Paperback)
This is a nice collection of songs---but I just got my copy, and was horribly disappointed to discover that the music is only chorded for guitar, without piano accompaniment.
