about

The Yellow Horse – I found this jig-time song air from P.W. Joyce's Old Irish Folk Music and Song. A melody of particular antiquity; in published collections it has appeared in various forms as far back as 1809 in Edward Bunting's A General Collection of the Ancient Music of Ireland.

Sorry I am for What I Have Done is a tune from the repertoire of melodeon player Michael J. Kennedy (1900–1978) from Flaskagh Beag in County Galway. In 1923 he emigrated to Cincinnati in the United States, and spent his career there working for the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. It is a curious little jig from the 1977 LP of his playing 65 Years of Irish Music. Before launching into the tune he sings "sorry I am for what i have done, sorry I am for what i have done, sorry I am for what i have done, to marry the father instead of the son.'' I have yet to encounter these lyrics elsewhere.

Absolutely sensational - love the generally low-end tones and planxty-esque set up, but most of all the incredible energy of it! Wish more instrumental trad was like this, love the fact that it's recorded live too. Prangman

🍻 I'm speechless. I can't even pronounce the guy's name (I'm working on that 🤣🤣), let alone comment on how brilliant his playing is. Not only that, but the physical album is the most substantial CD case and booklet I've ever held, outside of an OH MY GIRL album. Yes, I'm proud of myself for referencing k-pop while commenting on an Irish trad record. Anyone searching for tenor banjo on BC could stop here and be entirely fulfilled, although I encourage you to search for others as well. ⚡🔥🪕🔥⚡ acmochi
