@bondie45 "On Raglan Road" was set to the music of "The Dawning of the Day" When Luke Kelly put Patrick Kavanagh's poem to music.

How many feckin versions of this song are there?! Different lyrics every time -Newfoundland have their own version, John McCormack has his, then we've got the original Fainne Geal an Lae, then all the Raglan Roads of course and this!!!

[solsticecelt]

I agree, I have stuck to John Mc Cormicks version, for me it is the best.

[DwnAszPunk]

@solsticecelt Musically and vocally this version is superior, just my opinion.

[matskigudjohnson]

@DwnAszPunk Dead right.

Tommy Makem and Liam Clancy were the two top Irish acts of the 70's. This collection of songs are priceless.
