The Irish tradition of a cappella solo singing is a long one, and Joe Heaney was considered to be one of the greatest singers of his generation. His reputation grew in the 1950’s, as his rich baritone voice and unique styling won acclaim among fans of sean-nós singing and a broadening audience of folk music lovers. This collection of 13 songs from various recordings includes a full description of the stories behind the songs - necessary for all those who don’t understand the native Irish tongue. (49:49 1997)

This recording will be of interest to those of you seeking Irish folk music, as Darach O'Cathain is one of the best. On an album of primarily love songs, his colorful solo ornamentation of these Irish tunes sustains the listener, as there are no vocal or instrumental harmonies. The 13 songs are explained but not translated (from Irish to English) in the liner notes. (35:17 1992)
