About This Song
About "Irish Rover (with Tommy Makem) (Live at Gate of Horn, Chicago, IL - 1961)" by The Clancy Brothers
Recorded live at Chicago's Gate of Horn, 'Irish Rover' is a shaggy-dog sea yarn told with infectious glee. The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem turn the tall tale into a communal celebration, each verse a wave cresting higher. It's chaos and camaraderie, the ship listing but never sinking.
