Wolfe Tones - Sing Out For Ireland '1995

Tracks list

The Wolfe Tones Sing Out for Ireland is one of their more ironic album titles;
those looking for a cheerful set of drinking songs would be most unhappy with
this unsparing but ultimately uplifting collection of political material,
historical ballads, and ruefully humorous tunes like Janey Mac, Im Nearly 40,
the serio-comic lament of a former wild boy staring middle age in the bathroom
mirror. Even the deceptively upbeat St. Patrick Day has a puckish, dry wit in
the way it deflates traditional Irish stereotypes, and songs like the drop-dead
sarcastic The Impartial Police Force and the dead serious The Guilford Four are
among the Wolfe Tones most pointedly political material. Sing Out for Ireland
may not be for the faint of heart politically, but musically, its sublime
acoustic Irish folk even a Unionist could love.
