Chieftains - Down the Old Plank Road (DVD) Ierse Folk

Zo goed als nieuw exemplaar van deze concert DVD van de legendarische Ierse band the Chieftains. Met tal van wereldberoemde gasten.

In the wake of the success of O Brother Where Art Thou?, this collaboration between Irish supergroup the Chieftains and some of country's best known neo-traditionalists was almost inevitable. Luckily for all involved, the idea actually makes a lot of sense too. Most of the ballads and work songs that were born in the Appalachian hills have deep roots in the traditional music of Scotland, England, and Ireland, and crying fiddles, ringing banjos, and tales of drunkenness, outlaws, and loss are woven deeply into both cultures' musical heritage.
