There is no sound in all music that resembles the combination of Irish pipes
accompanying voice and guitar, and that combination is unique to the Furey
Brothers. The backing of Finbar's plaintive pipes to Eddy's wild voice gives a
windswept, rather desolate flavour to the sadder songs, contrasting with the
frisky whistle and brisk piping on the dance tunes.
This second album of the Fureys has the same combination of songs, slow airs and
dances that made their first record so popular, and features Finbar's solo on the
Indian whistle The Lonesome Boatman which has proved a show-stopper on all
their recent concert.
