This fascinating history charts the struggles and triumphs of Irish
folk, trad, and blues musicians before the Irish music industry,
and acts like U2, existed. Forgotten heroes and latter-day legends
intertwine with honorary visitors who took a bit of Ireland with
them, like Bob Dylan and Arlo Guthrie. The main focus of the book,
however, is on the influence of homegrown pioneers, from Sweeney's
Men in the 1960s to Horslips, De Danann, Anne Briggs, Rory
Gallagher, and current groundbreakers like Martin Hayes. Anyone who
owns even one Irish record will appreciate this book; anyone who
owns a lot of Irish records will no doubt treasure it.
