The Rising of the Moon: Irish Songs of Rebellion
'An excellent collection of the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem offering Irish folk songs still significant in Irish tradition and folklore. The album proves to be a history lesson, as well, as you hear firsthand tales of English brutality and Irish heroism from musicians who evidently feel genuine pride in their retelling. A great variety of material, from raucous sing-alongs to teary-eyed ballads, some sung in English, some in Gaelic. All-in-all, a fine collection that ranks with the best in the Clancy Brothers' catalogue...'
