Just Plain Fun
More brogue and blarney than you'd get from the Bold O'Donough. This is a fun visit with the boys - older and thicker at the middle, but in fine voice, harmony and spirit Renditions of CB standards like the Wild Colonial Boy and Risin' of the Moon are mature and rousing, and The Parting Glass is just lovely. The only things wrong with this in-concert recording are that...

Historic for Tom Clancy, but not a best effort
This is Tom Clancy's final recording, made live in 1988. For those not familiar with the Clancy Brothers, the group formed in the mid 1950's and eventually took America and Ireland by storm during the folk boom of the 1960's with robust renditions of traditional Irish tunes; not your typical "Danny Boy"!!!

Historic for Tom Clancy, but not a best effort, February 25, 2008
This review is from: Tunes N Tales (Audio CD)
This is Tom Clancy's final recording, made live in 1988. For those not familiar with the Clancy Brothers, the group formed in the mid 1950's and eventually took America and Ireland by storm during the folk boom of the 1960's with robust renditions of traditional Irish tunes; not your typical "Danny Boy"!!! The group originally featured Tommy Makem, Liam Clancy, Paddy Clancy, and Tom Clancy. In 1969 Bobby Clancy took Tommy Makem's place in the group, and in the 1980's, Robbie O'Connell joined the group. This recording has it's moments, but it suffers from a bad sound mix which is due to recording to DAT, a medium which does not allow for mixing later on. However, some songs like 'Pub with no Beer', 'Jug of Punch', 'Master McGrath', and 'Finnegan's Wake' still come off as decent renditions, showing us fans what a great group this was.
