This wins the prize for the best rip off a Steve Earle song (`Dixieland`) Also, the mention of an English harbor town (Dover) in an Irish folk song is distracting but he sings it with great spirit nonetheless :) I still like the song, though.
@silvi01977 Oh I forgot that Steve Earle invented this kind of music. How many songs does Dixieland sound like? This is in the fine tradition of folk songs as is Steve's Dixieland as is ....
@britribe I don't know. did you count them?! Folk music does have a long history of developing similar ideas, and most self-respecting folkies can tell you which songs begged and stole from others. No need to get defensive.
@silvi01977 When I first heard "Dover" I was trying to work out how "John O'Reilly" went from Ireland to Dover to NYC..I guess it wasn't really thought out
Badass song....love bein a Irish badass
