Product Description

CD Description

Following the huge demand for The Galway Girl single since the airing of the fantastic new Magners advert across all TV and Radio channels, IRL is now making the track available on a new Sharon Shannon Best of album. This 13 track album includes a selection of classic Sharon Shannon favourites along with both versions of the hit single, The Galway Girl – the original featuring Steve Earle and the newly recorded studio version with Mundy. Special guests also featured on the album include: Damien Dempsey, Dessie O’Halloran, Kirsty MacColl, Michael McGoldrick, Jackson Browne and Mike Scott of The Waterboys. The title track was written by Steve Earle while he was spending some time living in Galway writing a book. It was first recorded by Earle and Shannon in 1999 for Shannon’s hugely successful ‘Diamond Mountain Sessions’ album. The song has been gaining in popularity ever since, reflected earlier this year when it won the most downloaded single for 2007 at the Irish Meteor Awards. Mundy has been performing the song at Sharon Shannon Big Band shows across the country in recent times and had the opportunity to perform it with Steve Earle at last year’s Cambridge Folk Festival much to the festival goers delight. Sharon Shannon Big Band Live Dates: • June 27 – Glastonbury. Guests: Mundy • July 25 – WOMAD. Guests: Damien Dempsey/Mundy/Shane MacGowan • August 1 - World Fleadh Portlaoise, Ireland. Guests: Mundy/Shane McGowan/Damien Dempsey/Dessie O’Halloran Tracks: The Galway Girl (with Steve Earle) / Blackbird / What You Make It da,da,da,da (with Marvel & Lady K) / Gaffo’s Ball / Courtin' In The Kitchen (with Dessie O’Halloran, Damien Dempsey & Mundy) / I’ve No Alibi (with Damien Dempsey live ) / Tune For A Found Harmonium / A Man Of Constant Sorrow (with Jackson Browne) / Neckbelly / A Song Of The Rosy Cross (with Mike Scott) / Libertango (with Kirsty MacColl) / Bag Of Cats / The Galway Girl (with Mundy).

Foot Tapping Pick Me Up 15 Sep 2008
By Ms. J. F. Hourigan - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Galway Girl - Sharron Shannon
This CD's main track is on both no 1 and no 13 of the playlist with two different lead singers... Mundy who sounds the 'better' singer of this title track is a joy to listen to on track 13 but Steve Earl, the writer of this song gives an excellent rendition of it on the first track of the CD... The music is the sort that makes you feel that all is right with the world and your feet tap all by themselves. It makes you want to go get the neighbours and have a party... The rest of this album is a surprising fusion of cultures and music from all over the world, often 'mixed' on single tracks... Well worth listening to...
