The Bothy Band - 1975: The First Album

Electrifying fiddler Tommy Peoples made his first and only recorded appearance with The Bothy Band on 1975, the band�s debut album. Peoples propels the group through a brilliant selection of jigs, songs, and especially reels. As the late Frankie Kennedy of Altan remarked, �They played the tunes straightforwardly, but they had the fire in their bellies.� That fire is nowhere more evident than on this album.Tracks: The Kesh Jig; Give Us A Drink Of Water; The Flower Of The Flock; Famous Ballymote / The Green Groves Of Erin; The Flowers Of Red Hill / Do You Love An Apple / Julia Delaney / Patsy Geary�s; Coleman�s Cross / Is Trua Nach Bhfuil M� in �irinn / The Navvy On The Line/The Rainy Day / The Tar Road To Sligo; Paddy Clancy�s / Martin Wynn�s; The Longford Tinker / Pretty Peg; Craig�s Pipes / Hector The Hero; The Laird Of Drumblaire / The Traveller; The Humours Of Lissadel / The Butterfly / The Salamanca; The Banshee; The Sailor�s Bonnet.
