5.0 out of 5 stars
Great versatility and great Irish tradition!, August 19, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: No 2 Patrick Street (Audio CD)
This CD is definitive Patrick Street--from the virtuosity of Kevin Burke's fiddling and/or Jackie Daly's fingers flying over the button accordian (superbly backed by Arty and Andy) to the American protest ballads of "Facing the Chair" and "Tom Joad." Speaking of "Tom Joad"--this is an amazing ballad originally written by Woody Guthrie and reworked by Andy Irvine. The entire story of John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath is told in one song, a feat which Cliff's Notes should be more than jealous of. And that is quite a feat indeed, and up with which we all must put.
