The Pogues - The Travelling People

[mammasantina1]

I agree about Ewan McColl and Shane Macgowan, too. No one sings "Dirty Old Town" better than Shane. He does a great job on this, also. Too bad he deteriorated so badly...

[180guy]

Just watching Blood of The Ravellers on RTE & thought of this...SOME STUFF!!

[MultiSupergrobi]

great

[countrycrabber]

ah that shaneo,s gotta

[drav123]

then, i guess led zeppelin must suck, too.. for ripping off all their tunes. i agree.. that originals are great and all.. but when you can play everyone else's songs better than they did in the first place, what the heck?.. go for it.. you wanna start a cover band with me ? :)

[dayo1075]

what a disgrace these junky cunts try to rip off other artists then sell this muck to everywhere else

[drav123]

@dayo1075 .. ha.. this is one of the best bands ever.. so talented, so heartfelt.. yes they're junkies.. yes, they're cunts.. that's part of what makes them so great.. they play from their hearts and aren't afraid to share real pain or joy... POGUE MAHONE

[dayo1075]

@drav123 your wrong the Pogues just sat on luke kellys songs and sold all over the world

[vegasindigo]

@dayo1075 Luke Kelly was the best, but Liam Clancy's cover of this song is good, too

[badmartianshrew]

How the hell did you get this?

[SwindonByf]

From their boxset of rarities "Just Look Them Straight in the eye and say Pogue Mahone!" Loads of awesome stuff like this on there

[tolmiecfc]

raise a big glass of martini

[Bohumill2]

Pogues on the top...

[denboy]

Another gem.

[biglesbovivnisbet]

Fantastic version of a fantastic song!

Ewan McColl was a genius of a songwriter, as The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face shows. His daughter wasn't a bad singer either.

[olleKR79]

just wonderful !!!

[devlin145]

Great song! I love the rare Pogues stuff.
