Perhaps nostalgic in more ways than one.
Alas The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem are no more and the need for 'rebel ballads' as faded into memory too.
But that's not to say that the passion in the songs and lyrics has diluted from the recordings of the times.
While this looks a wee bit more like a showcase for Tommy, when the boys join in it's back to the singing, swinging 60's all over again.
Great stuff.
