Dublin Street Songs / Through Dublin City
Dublin Street Songs and Through Dublin City are LPs of mostly traditional Irish songs by Frank Harte. Dublin Street Songs became Frank Harte's first LP recording in 1967, having been recorded in two days earlier that year by Bill Leader in the UK at the same time as the tracks that were to become Through Dublin City, which was issued on the Topic label in 1973.
The CD is largely made up of traditional Irish songs, though there are some exceptions such as "Henry My Son", which is listed as a "European Ballad".
| “ | With a genuine rendition, lyrics and notes on the background, this is the best introduction you will find to the songs our fathers knew -- as they knew them. | ” |
A CD amalgamating both albums was published in 2004. The full tracklist on this album contains all songs on the LPs except - because of CD space limitations - for "Traveller All Over the World" which was not included on the re-issue.
