Album Review
In a rare instance of Tommy Makem stepping away from the Clancy Brothers, this set had him collaborating with guitarist and banjo player Eric Weissberg to good effect. The sparse arrangements help to bring out the qualities of the tunes themselves, with some of the traditional songs getting very dramatic readings. It remains a shame that Makem did not step out on his own more often. [Sunswept's 2007 edition included an additional CD of bonus material.]
Customer Reviews
Great Early Tommy Makem Music
Tommy Makem, the Bard of Armagh, will be sorely missed. These are lovely recordings of some of his earlier solo works. On a side note, despite the Itunes review, Makem did "step away" from the Clancy's. He had a great solo career for the last two decades. Unfortunatley, Itunes does not have any of those fine albums.
