Title Note

Recorded in 1959. Includes liner notes by Patrick Claney.

Generally speaking, Irish folk musicians take pride in their pub song tradition. Indeed, alcohol consumption is part and parcel of Ireland's customs and social mores (well, except for those pesky temperance advocates). Well known pub songs such as "Whiskey You're the Devil," "The Parting Glass," and "A Jug of Punch" are covered here, often by a different Clancy Brother (or Tommy Makem) or a chorus of all four singers.

The baritone voice of Tom Clancy on "The Moonshiner" or the mellifluous tenor of the youngest brother Liam (on "The Parting Glass") are standouts. Moreover, Tommy Makem's lighthearted "Johnny McEldoo," a song about an excessive drinker and eater who finds himself in a drunken row, is typical of Ireland's romantic flair for the bottle. The only tune sung in Irish is "Portlairge," a Gaelic song that lists no less than six great pub towns that surround fair Portlairge. The most interesting song on COME FILL YOUR GLASS WITH US, however, is "Finnigan's Wake," if only because of its literary analog.
