fijne verzamelaar van dit Ierse folkgezelschap. traditionele, ouderwetse folk uit de jaren 60/70 met goede songs, uitstekende instrumentalisten en vooral sterke vocalen. de Johnstons waren meesters in het "close harmony" zingen. veel traditionals, waaronder Ierse ballads afgewisseld met werk van artiesten die destijds als "modern" werden beschouwd. zo zijn tracks 7, 9 en 17 Joni Mitchell songs, 8 en 15 covers van Leonard Cohen, 16 en 19 covers van Gordon Lightfoot nummers. 6) You Keep Going Your Way is een nummer van Dave Cousins bekend van de Engelse folkgroep The Strawbs. de zang klinkt 50 jaar later nog steeds fris.
dit album is gevuld met nummers die stuk voor stuk lekker weg luisteren. voor de liefhebbers van dit genre niet te versmaden.
Adrienne en Luci Johnston: vocals
Mick Moloney: vocals, banjo, mandolin
Paul Brady: vocals, guitar, fiddle, mandolin
uit de liner notes (van Ian S. Broadfoot, Inverness, September 1992)
quote
The Johnstons' original line-up comprised Adrienne, Luci and Michael Johnston from Slane in County Meath's Boyne Valley. The family trio were regulars on the Dublin folk circuit and in 1966 they scored a Number 1 success in the Irish charts with Ewan MacColl's "The Travelling People". They were joined in the group by Mick Moloney from Castletroy, County Limerick and, when Michael Johnston left, by Paul Brady from Strabane.
They signed for Transatlantic in 1968 and, between then and 1972, produced 7 albums (including a "sampler"compilation) and six singles. Over these years they moved from their folk beginnings to a blend of traditional and contemporary material which drew on the songwriting skills of the best composers of the era.
The Johnstons never achieved the commercial success they deserved but they were at the forefront of the Irish folk music revival in the 1960's before bringing their style of interpretation and arrangement of traditional Irish songs to a wider audience outside Ireland. For this reason alone their place in music history is assured.
