Whisky In The Jar - Dubliners - cover

'Whiskey in the Jar" is a famous Irish traditional song, usually set in the Cork and Kerry mountains, about a highwayman who is betrayed by his wife or lover. One of the most widely performed traditional Irish songs, it has been recorded by professional artists since the 1950s, but was first given wide exposure by the Irish folk band The Dubliners who performed it internationally as a signature song, and recorded it on three albums in the 1960s. Building on the success of the Dubliners, the Irish rock band Thin Lizzy hit the Irish and British pop charts with the song in the early 1970s, and the American heavy metal band Metallica brought it to a wider rock audience in 1998. It is sung with many variants on locations and names.
Uk singles chart positions:
Thin Lizzy No.6 in 1973
The Dubliners No.63 in 1990
The Pogues No.63 in 1990
Metallica No.29 in 1999.
