- Track Sources
- Track: 10 from The Lark In The Morning (1955)
- Tracks: 5, 7 & 11 from Come Fill Your Glass With Us (1959)
- Tracks: 3 & 8 from So Early In The Morning (1961)
- Track: 3 from Songs of Tommy Makem (1961)
- Track: 3 is something on an oddity in combining Tommy Makem and Bobby Clancy singing 2 different
versions of "As I Roved Out" from 2 different recordings … into one track
- Tracks: 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 & 13 from Songs from Ireland (1961)
- On this release, and many others, track: 4 is erroneously credited to "Tommy Makem & his mother Sarah Makem" — it is actually Peg & Bobby Clancy.
Sleeve Notes
Traditional song in Ireland is distilled from a blend of Irish and English due to the centuries of close associations between the two countries.
The internationally famous Clancy and Makem families, Irish through and through, have combined to make this glorious collection of true, traditional Irish songs.
If you heard these tunes in the mountains of Tibet, the Australian Outback, or in the bleak desolation of Patagonia, you would not fail to recognise the distinctive Irish flavour — humorous, sad, sentimental and essentially nostalgic.
