You can find a version of the song "Joe Hill" in a record called Ireland Boys Hurrah! by The Wolfhound, which also includes classic Irish Folk. Joe Hill wasn't Irish, this song was not written by an Irishman, it was not even put to music by one. But does it matter? Working class Irish-americans of the era probably treated it as one. The name of the genre is nowhere near as important as the lyrics.

So where in Ireland is 'Salt Lake City' or the copper mines? I think, my friend, you'll find this is an American union song, early 20th century, made famous by Paul Robeson, and later Joan Baez. Luke's version is great though - but has nothing to do with Ireland or 1916.
