The Jolly Tinkermen - Irish And Proud Of It

Review by Bryan White

Irish And Proud Of It by Jolly Tinkermen is a delightful album that showcases the rich musical heritage of Ireland. The album features a collection of traditional Irish songs, performed with passion and skill by the talented musicians of Jolly Tinkermen.

The album opens with the lively and upbeat "The Irish Rover," a classic Irish folk song that sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, the album takes listeners on a journey through the heart of Irish music, featuring songs like "Whiskey in the Jar," "Danny Boy," and "The Fields of Athenry."

Throughout the album, Jolly Tinkermen demonstrate their mastery of traditional Irish instruments, including the fiddle, accordion, and bodhran. Their energetic and spirited performances are sure to get listeners tapping their feet and singing along.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Molly Malone," a beloved Irish ballad that tells the story of a fishmonger who plies her trade on the streets of Dublin. Jolly Tinkermen's rendition of the song is both haunting and beautiful, with the mournful strains of the fiddle and the sweet sound of the accordion blending together perfectly.
