Comment:

For a style with roots that run so deep and remain so strong, Irish folk has got a lot of room under its tree of song. There’s space enough to encompass everything from Blood or Whiskey’s premium blend of punky attitude and trad tunes on “King of the Fairies/Western Junk” to fiddling demon of Donegal Tommy Peoples tearing through a trio of “Slip Jigs.” But when the hour arrives, at last, to sing the final song of the evening and lift your tankard towards the rooftop in toast, Liam Clancy’s “The Parting Glass” will send you home with a grin on your lips and a tune tumbling sweetly around your head.
