Brilliant

I really must say that I do like this version of "Rising of the Moon"

[jaymcgeo]

listen to luke kellys versoin u wil love it all the best

[stryder87]

Ohh, I have, I own a lot of records and CD's by him and the Dubliners. I do Like Luke's version the best. However, I like the the old and soft sound of this version.

[Ganjus]

whilst there is no doubt that Lukes version is quite well done, due to the fact it leaves out the last (and what I beleive to be integral) verse I would not say its the 'best' version.

sir, in truth, he does have a fair voice and no question that he may love ireland, but if the latter is true why move to the u.s.a to have a few dollors. why not make a contribution to ireland like those boys of 1798 that he sings about here. or is doyle just another plastic paddy pandering to the yanks? i am trying to get constructive fed back here about doyle and why he fled ireland.

[IrishHolly]

To labhras: Your comment is grossly unfair to Danny. He was most certainly not "washed up" in 88 or 89; in fact, his voice is just as sweet and lilting now as it was 40 years ago. True, he moved to Virginia & played American pubs (vs. Irish ones). So what? Danny Doyle is a kind, caring person and will forever be one of the greatest Irish balladiers that ever lived. And I'm proud to call him my friend.

This is great - I'd never heard Danny's version of this song before, although I recognise his voice from others on tapes I heard years ago. It's great to have his music archived here - the more people who hear and keep enjoying his singing, the better for Irish culture.

[labhras99]

i heard a washed-up doyle singing this in late december '88 or early '89 in washington d.c. sad that he ended up singing in dive bars in america where people singing irish ballads are a dime a dozen.

i prefear the version with irish accent

[mrblushy]

that is an irish accent as far as I know,I'm from there so I should know,maybe Bono could do a cover of it just to keep everyone happy.

Danny ROCKS!

[ElfoLuriel]

Surely! I'm not Irish and I trust you, but the first difference that I can feel is that the sound "ai" as in My, Rising, pikes is not frequently changed in "oi". I have heard an other version before and the accent was absolutely stronger.

Danny Rocks man, always!!

Excelent, nice and sweet even though it's a rebel song.

I still play this at sessions and it always goes down well.

[ireland88]

Rebel songs ROCK.

[HaulAwayJoe]

Nice one!
