Review of by Sean McGuinness

     This CD features previously unreleased versions of “Tim Finnegans Wake” and “The Moonshiner” from the “In Person at Carnegie Hall” concert (both are good strong versions), as well as the previously unreleased introductions to “The Juice of the Barley” and “Jug of Punch” from the same concert. Its nice to have these.  The rest of the CD contains previously released Clancy songs, as well as previously released songs by the Dubliners.  The theme of the CD is a bit overwhelming and the release suffers from a lack of other kinds of material (love songs, ballads, rebel songs, etc), which offer a balance. Other than this, the CD only includes three Clancy songs not otherwise released on CD.

I rate this CD a C+.
