FIRST HEARING:
Another 'theme' from the heart of Frank Harte; this time songs of Irish labour.
The 40 page booklet gives extensive notes on the songs and some of the people involved and though Donal Lunny is present it's very much a straight song album and covers the life & death, the humour & pathos and all sung cleanly & clearly by Frank.
This is for more that just collectors. Another history in song.
