Subject: RE: Trad Irish songs, rebel & other... help
my suggestion is that you should wander from the beaten path---the songs you quote are generally played endlessly in plastic paddy pubs--almost like listening to a vuvuzela at this point.

here are some comparatively less travelled sources I can think of off the top of my head

-Al O'Donnell
-The Johnstons
-Sweeney's Men
-Dubliners Celebration CD--lots of good songs--stay away from the early Dubliners stuff--the mine is exhausted
-Colm O'Lochlainn Songbooks
-Dolores Keane
-Mary Black/Black family
