Only from America could we get a 'folk music' album that kicks off like James Cagney in "Yankee Doodle Dandy" and celebrates that genre with an album that could be sub-titled 'the Irish on Broadway & in Hollywood'.
This is a fun release that equally fills another gap in the progress of the Irish into America and the American conscience.
Well worth a listen
