Joe Heaney - The Road from Connemara CD
Songs and stories from the master of traditional singing. Connemara is one of the heartlands of traditional singing and Seosamh ó hÉanaí (Joe Heaney) was one of the great Conamara singers of his generation, many would say the greatest. This is more than an album of song. It's a study. Recordings made by Ewen MacColl and Peggy Seeger and previously unissued. 2 cds containing not only songs in English and Irish, but the stories behind the songs as told (in English) by the master himself. Accompanied by a very informative booklet, this album would make a rare gift for anyone interested in real traditional singing.
