Truck Mix Disc: The Dubliners

The pride of my cassette tape trove has long been a collection of Irish pub songs by The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. Earlier this summer I decided I wanted something like that on CD, so I picked up a three-disc set by The Dubliners. I've condensed those down to this one disc of my favorites.

Back in the 1960's popular folk music came to be dominated by lily-throated minstrels lamenting the cruelty of man. The Dubliners went the other direction: grunting folk songs primarily about drinking and wenching.
