CD Reviews

Superb performing, good materials, flawed reproduction...

William E. Adams | Midland, Texas USA | 06/04/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Tommy Makem's work on these songs, recorded between 1955 and 1961, is wonderful, of course. The selections are among the best of the Irish folk song piece of the US folk revival pie. Unfortunately, two or three of these tracks are reproduced here at a volume level much softer than all the other songs. That is annoying, but not fatal. These are performances put on the "Tradition Label" in the late '50's and early '60's, some recorded in kitchens in both Ireland and New York City. If you like Tommy's work with the Clancy Brothers, you should have these solos in your collection also. Two of the songs are taken from an in-print Tradition LP, "The Lark in the Morning" and many of the others were done over and over in various configurations of "The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem" or "Liam Clancy and Tommy Makem" or "The Clancy Brothers" (without Tommy) so the material is not new to any fan. It is interesting, however, how well Tommy, who died earlier this year, holds his own as a solo act. He was a vital part of the Clancy Brothers initial success, and when they record without him later in their careers, he is missed, despite how good the brothers are themselves."
