Liam takes some liberties with the lyrics but he has a fantastic voice and this is the definitive version of Ewan MacColl's great song.

I grew up with the Clancy brothers' and Tommy Makem's music. It's great to hear them do this Ewan McColl song, but I can't help but think they're turning up their Irish-ness a bit for the American audience ;-)

My early musical hero's God Bless them They live on in my heart and their songs will never die.... Thanks for the music!

Liam was known for his beautifully lyrical ballads, but this song also shows the strength and power of his beautiful voice.
