The Wheels of the World, Vol. 2
Early Irish-American Music
Classic Recordings from the 1920s & 30s
Yazoo 7009; Ordering Information; Volume
1
"Chronicles some of the seminal performers
of the
first generation of Irish-Americans to record.
Among the fiddlers, two stand out in particular -
Michael Coleman for the depth and subtlety of his
interpretations and James Morrison for his
brilliants technique. And Patrick J. Touhey's
uillean pipes are a revelation."- Newark
Star Ledger
"A preservationist's
dream...yields an intimacy
not found today." - Time Out New York
|
| A
collection of all-time great performances of Irish traditional music,
including selections by such legendary artists as Michael Coleman,
James Morrison, Patrick Touhey, Mullaney and Stack, Flannagan Brothers,
Packie Dolan, and many, many more. These recordings were made primarily
in the 1920s when the pure power of this wonderful tradition was
at its peak, and were all made in America, to which a great many
of the master Irish musicians had immigrated. Many of these very
recordings played a huge role in establishing the basic repertoire
of tunes played by Irish musicians for the rest of the 20th century. |
