Why This CD Matters
Boys of the Lough are a Scottish-Irish folk group whose playing draws on traditional tunes and songs from both sides of the Irish Sea. This ten-track set moves between lively reel and jig medleys, hornpipes, waltzes, and more reflective songs, including the title track and “The Rose of Ardee.” Fiddle, flute, whistle, concertina, mandolin, banjo, and pipes give the music a richly textured acoustic sound.
Collector Note
This US CD is the Shanachie release, catalog number 79061, with a ten-track program. Its track order differs from the UK version titled “Welcoming Paddy Home,” which helps distinguish the editions. The album was originally released in 1986.
