Bang on, brother! Listening to “If I Should Fall from Grace with God” right now, with “Sally MacLennane”, “Body of an American”, and “Sickbed of Cuchalainn” warming up.

Take those over “Danny Boy” anytime.

Lots of possibilities by Horslips.

For today, I’ll take “Warm Sweet Breath of Love.”

Just turn on a good Session set. Hard to sing when you’re drinking beer.

“I buried my wife and danced on her grave” is a good jig.

Van the Man teamed up with The Chieftains for an entire album of Irish classics.

Here they are doing Carrickfergus.
