Title Note

The Chieftains: Michael Tubridy (flute, tin whistle, concertina); Paddy Moloney (tin whistle, Uilleann pipes); Sean Potts (tin whistle); Martin Fay, Sean Keane (fiddle); Peadar Mercier (bodhran, bones).

Additional personnel: Pat Kilduff (vocals).

Recorded at Audio International, London, England in 1971. Includes liner notes by San Mac Reamoinn, Hamish Henderson & Susanah York.

Recorded in 1971, CHIEFTAINS 3 builds upon and refines the style laid out by its two predecessors, adding a few new wrinkles to the Irish band's traditional sound. The biggest addition this time around is the first in a long line of guest artists--Pat Kilduff, who adds lilting (a type of wordless Celtic vocalizing in which the singer imitates the sound of a fiddle, similar to scatting in jazz) to the sprightly reel "The Hunter's Purse" and the slide "Merrily Kiss the Quaker." The rest of the album is the Chieftains' usual expert blend of traditional jigs, reels, marches, airs, and slides, mixing tunes both familiar and obscure, arranged by Paddy Moloney for various combinations of instruments. The overall highlight is "The Trip to Sligo," a bold exploration that supplants a time-honored song with an increasingly complex set of harmonic variations.
