The Pogues are up there with Fairport Convention as one of the top folk tradition/rock fusion bands. You can't listen to their upbeat songs without wanting to get up and dance and even the sad ones, like "Fairytale of New York" will bring an ironic smile to your lips.

This is an eclectic collection of traditionals and current music.

"Worms" you've heard the song before as a child, but not quite like this.

"Fairytale of New York," this song, which is co-performed with Kirsty MacColl (daughter of Ewan), received fresh attention with the release of "PS I love you," it's a bitter Christmas for an old man in a drunk tank:

I could have been someone

Well so could anyone

You took my dreams from me

When I first found you

I kept them with me, babe

I put them with my own

Can't make it all alone

I've built my dreams around you

"Streets of Sorrow/Birmingham Six" is the tale of some unfortunate Irishmen who were caught for a bombing they didn't do:

There were six men in Birmingham

In guildford theres four

That were picked up and tortured

And framed by the law

And the filth got promotion

But they're still doing time

For being Irish in the wrong place

And at the wrong time....

This CD is of many moods. You'll find something you like here regardless of how you are feeling. It's definitely one of this group's best and well worth having at the price.

What a fun, strong LP. They love their Irish roots, but they love their rock n roll too. Great lyrics and story telling along with full powered music. I listened to this for months when it first came out and now my ipod keeps reminding me how great this music is.
