“the songs are movingly romantic.â€
This anthology represents Jack Hardy’s most requested Celtic songs spanning his fourteen album career. Over the years Jack has traveled extensively and spent time in Ireland, England and Scotland. He has also devoured and distilled the literature, history and mythology of these countries as well as his experiences into these songs. Subjects range from tinkers (or travelers) in The Tinkers Coin, Sheila, and Willie Goggin’s Hat, to the history of the diaspora in the Bony Bailiff, If I Ever Pass This Way Again, and Sending Home the Slates (never before released) to happy go lucky up tempo tunes such as Blackberry Pie, May Day and The Drinking Song to the stark harmonic beauty of West of Dingle.
