Music reviews of The Lark In The Morning
Music Review: The Best Irish Folk Music Recording Ever
Rating: 5 Stars
If you only own one recording of traditional Irish music this should be it. In 1955 Dianne Hamilton, who was a Guggenheim heiress and an accomplished musician in her own right, travelled to Ireland to record traditional performers. One of her first ports of call was the Clancy household in Tipperary where she met Liam Clancy. She inveigled Liam to join her on the rest of the trip and when they reached Armagh they sought out singer Sarah Makem. Liam thus made friends with her son Tommy and the rest, as they say, is history. The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem went on to be famous and made a great many recordings both together and separately, but on this CD you can not only hear them in the first bloom of their careers, but you can hear where they got their gift (and many of their songs) from, as their mothers, Joan Clancy and Sarah Makem make appearances too, together with singer Paddy Tunney, fiddler Padraig O'Keefe and others. The refreshing thing about this recording is that most of the songs are unaccompanied, so you get the unadulterated and uncommercialised sound of the pure Irish voice soaring through the songs. Most of the recording was done in pubs and living-rooms. At the end of one recording session everyone said they should not leave without recording Thomas Baynes. A shy man who had been quietly drinking in the corner was with some difficulty talked into singing. What emerged was arguably the greatest version on "Barbara Ellen" ever recorded. If you appreciate Irish music you must have this CD.
