Berl Ives was arrested for playing this song, back before he was famous.

[friederich66]

[flannery50]

NO commercialism. Hard to imagine these days. Irish folk is as pure as it gets. Thanks Dubliners!

[BoudiccaBlanc]

1 Dislike? Probably a member of the Black and Tans!

[Midvinterblot542]

@BoudiccaBlanc It says 0 dislikes... The IRA must have got him to reconsider his vote ;)

[RPenta]

The problem with much American folk music-even during the "golden age" of the 50's and 60's is that they did not have the richness of the musicianship--too simple-they needed to add a banjo, or accordion, or fiddle as you find in Irish music or all of the foregoing.

[mask2697]

@RPenta two words: Bob Dylan

[94puppyeyez]

This music rocks.

It's weird b/c I'm part Irish/French/Russian-Jew/Guate­malan and maybe other things too lol

[munkycheeeeeez]

@94puppyeyez Judaism is a religion....

[94puppyeyez]

@munkycheeeeeez Um I'm Christian but Jew's are also a race...

[munkycheeeeeez]

@94puppyeyez No.

[94puppyeyez]

@munkycheeeeeez I noticed that today b/c I asked my mom about it haha

[sinjin480]

@94puppyeyez

Well, the Jews are descended from a tribe of the Arabs/ North Africans. Which was why the Nazis made the distinction between Aryans and Jews. Judiasim is the correct term for the religion as Jew indicates both the tribe of the original Jews, and the religion. But both the tribe/race and the religion are nearly, very nearly synonymous. Just to throw that out there, that in a very obsure way, Jew is a race, though not as much of a distinction now though. Great song, great band. Great

[94puppyeyez]

@sinjin480 I know haha fine I'm Russian and part Israelite

[MACSPORRON]

@munkycheeeeeez ...so it is buy the way

[munkycheeeeeez]

[TomBarry192I]

[Elektroduende77]

Right proudly high over Dublin Town!

[SMartyn1000]

chomuno...be quiet thats all i can say to you:)

[VivKay1]

Irish folk music can't be beaten! What a musical heritage they have. A great song and such stirring patriotism. I don't have an Irish background but I still love the music.

[thedubliners1]

This banjo rocks !

[RememberThe1776]

[renatovcortereal]

*****

[Chomuno]

Those old tired skins are called the Dubliners? Haha...

[donnyab]

@Chomuno

haha you won't be saying that 60 years from now jacques

[Chomuno]

@donnyab I will! I mean, the Dubliners are not, I think, this old band of retired people who should better drink their beers and read their books, and James Joyce etc.

I am not Jacques.

[IlisavD]

Although this version isnt nearly as upbeat as the rendition by the young dubs, this one sends a chill down my spine. Really draws an image of the time it was written in.

[SuperChopper1971]

paddy is a prince, but ronnie was the king!!

[TheRababa]

[MrPit72]

Great Song!Barney plays a Mighty Mighty Banjo!!!!The best band i have ever seen!!!!

[dudebrochillin]

@TheWIZOler hahaha geniaus

[CMLPaddY]

i love you paddy reily and you are indeed a great singer! but there are some songs that i'm so used to listen from luke or ronnie and this is one of them :(

[Shewib]

I'm an American. The reason I love the Dubliners is because American folk music is not nearly as good as Irish folk music. After the rebellious years of rock n' roll, what do older Americans have to enjoy? Also, the themes of Irish folk music are universal. You don't have to be Irish or want to be Irish to connect strongly to them.

[Tommy1977777]

thats where some of american folk music came from. Irish folk music is great stuff. my family is irish , mother side and most of fathers. mothers side named Adams.

[BlaineDeschain]

Well said!:)

[clevername71]

@Shewib I don't see them as being different at all. American folk music has been heavily influenced by the Irish going back to the days before Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger to the Irish immigrants of the mid-19th Century. Both exhibit the same universal themes of working class struggle and solidarity for the oppressed. The crossover was most evident during the 60's folk revival when you had Bobby Dylan singing Irish melodies. I think that's why Americans have strong connection with Irish music

[mihajlo96]

@Shewib Excuse me, brother. American folk music does not exist. The only true American folk muisc is the one of the Native Americans, and they are the only Americans in the whole wide world. After you idiots, killed them all, people came on there land from all over the planet. So, you can tell what you want, but you are not an American, you all came from Europe, Asia, Africa.... So, what do we learn? Native American music is the only folk music you guys in America can call US Folk

[zarthered]

@mihajlo96 dude, listen to man of constant sorrow and many artists from bluegrass and delta blues and tell me thats not folk music??? how many generations does it take for a people to make a form of music all their own? plus, a whole chunk of american folk music root's can be directly tied to irish traditional music? so... is there is there truly no american folk music?

[mihajlo96]

@zarthered I didn't say that, i say that all you "Americans" are just Europeans, Asians, Africans and others... So the "american folk music" is a mix of all these

[Traitorfish]

@mihajlo96 I think that assumes an overly essential nature to any given folk style, when folk music is by definition born of an organic shared experience. While there may be no one essential "American" folk tradition, there are those which are unique to the country and the land, be they born of an ethnic group- Irish-American, German American, etc.- or of a particular American region, like Delta Blues or Appalachian Bluegrass. Folk is not the music of nation-states, but of peoples.

[rmm413c]

@mihajlo96 You're showing a lot of ignorance here. A lot of American folk songs come from three and four hundred years ago, so they are in fact older than many Irish folk songs. "America" was named after an Italian. The people native to this land never originally referred to it as America and it is offensive in my opinion to lump so many different groups of natives under a single European name. American folk music exists and is a new creation that first developed here from a mixture of peoples.

[mihajlo96]

@Shewib I'm sorry to bother you wiht so much text, but my first reaction was to do that.

[mihajlo96]

@Shewib Everything else you wrote in your comment, was absolutely correct.

[zarthered]

@Shewib I would submit that the older American folk music was as strong as the Irish, as it had strong themes of equality that were founded upon the early struggles of the southern labor unions, specifically the Virgina cole mines. infect, those same folk songs, like "man of constant sorrow" and others were the direct ancestors of their Irish counterparts as it was the Irish who where the miners, railroad workers, and common laborers that America should celebrate. Long Live the Irish American.

[carvetop01]

@Shewib

Why make this into a contest? Just enjoy the music.

[ManofWar55]

@Shewib. I take it you've never listened to Native Folk music then...

[johnfoconnor]

@Shewib

Very well said about the themes of Irish music; well recognised many years ago by that poet who said "All their wars were merry but all their songs were sad". The themes of many of our folk songs are the ones of striving for freedom, and universal indeed. Also, there is a massive amount of great American music that I listen to: for example Arlo Guthrie, brilliant.

I love listening to all music and American music is great too.

[diminution1001]

@Shewib Same with me and I'm Finnish! So beautiful and romantic!

[Auntiespet78]

@Shewib mate, ye should listen to, Houl yer whist folk group, also. for parity. and the main guy is RC. yet actually loves the music. Shiny!

[TheRababa]

bravo

[THEDONOFDUBLIN]

why does every american want to be irish ure great great great grandfather was irish not u ure american not a drop of irish blood is in ure body mate

[BrendanIsCool]

everyone wishes they were irish

the darks from africa wish to overrun Eire

we fought the brits, we'll fight the negroids

[THEDONOFDUBLIN]

fair play man fair play

[dex33]

Stop embarrasing your people.

[saintpeter13]

dude it's because we want a strong rich heritage, we have a history of war and hate, and i hate that, i just wanna drink and have fun, and in America when ya drink ya fight

[ammiralowling]

I wouldn't say that but while we are critiquing... the use of the word "mate" might suggest true origin.

You see Ireland is larger than you think. simply casting back one's ancestry 4 fold is not only presumptuous but it is also hypocritical.

Had those deserters as you'd no doubt claim them stuck around perhaps you would not "be".

All the while us so called Amerikans were leaving we were sending money back to Ireland.

I would suggest you re-asses your viewpoint.

[Ahwara]

and where is it you're from? Dublin i assume, but i gotta ask xD

[THEDONOFDUBLIN]

yes i am

[rmm413c]

@THEDONOFDUBLIN So you think artificial political boundaries are more important than tradition and blood?

[nanouki912]

Ιρλανδία λατρεύτηκε.-

[HailstormCourier]

im american and for some reason all Irish music sounds great to me, and ppl always wonder why i listen to it and i always say to them IRISH PRIDE, and whip out my Celtic Cross pendant

[Imboredandfree]

My mum says that my Grandad & family came from Ireland somewhere and that their name was Connor. I don't know.

[Imboredandfree]

I don't know why but Irish folk music always sounds like home to me.

[Valashta]

great song!

[ildi1959]
