True, the recording quality is poor. Yes, his reedy voice makes me wince. But considered within the proper context, this album is a landmark.

After listening to Frank Quinn for a spell, I even stopped wincing. I was caught up instead in a moment of time, when he and his Irish friends recaptured a bit of home through his music.

It doesn't hurt that my great grandmother ( Nan Fitzpatrick )age 80 plus, is the singer with Frank Quinn on three of the album cuts. "Far Away in Australia" brought tears to my mother's eyes on Christmas day. This is a wonderful compilation of some of the earliest irish music recorded in this country. It is a privledge to be related to this wonderful artist.
