Non-Southern CD of The Week: Dublin City Ramblers
Posted: Jun 25, 2009I feel kind of odd calling this “non-Southern” album. I mean, most great music comes from the south, but many Southerners originally came from Ireland, including my Great Grandfather Smith. So really, it don’t get much more Southern than The Dublin City Ramblers.
The Ramblers career has spanned more than 35 years, with over 30 albums, top ten hits, several awards for best Ballad/Folk Group and eight gold albums. They are known world wide as Ireland’s number one group.
Flight of the Earls, a kind of “greatest hits,” was originally released during the 1980s and went gold. This week, the band releases the album once again, only this time it has been completely re-recorded.
Sean McGuinness heads up the band as they mix it up with a fine set of Irish folk tunes and classic songs like the title track, “Ramblin’ Rover,” “Ireland My ireland,” “The Good Ol’ Mountain Dew,” and the immortal “Danny Boy,” just to name a few.
Without this fine music, we would not have bluegrass or mountain music. It has been instrumental in the very roots of all styles of Southern music. In fact, a recent tour found The Dublin City Ramblers sharing the stage with The Winters Brothers Band, and the two bands once again shared the stage at last weekends 30th Annual Southern Summer Jam.
It’s good music for a lazy afternoon. As a writer, I love to play Flight of The Earls as I work. It takes me back to my Irish heritage. This is some mighty fine music, lads and lassies.
Keep it Real. Keep it Southern.
