Description:
This is a first ever collection of Irish songs from Bing Crosby's popular radio program. Bing was extremely proud of his Irish heritage, and as well known as he was for his for his classic Christmas songs his Irish recordings are some of the most popular he ever sang, including several that were million sellers, "Too Ra Loo Ra Loo Ral That's An Irish Lullaby," "MacNamara's Band," and "Galway Bay." Includes four tracks rarely found on any Bing Crosby collection, "The Donovans," "That Tumbledown Shack In Athlone," "Peg O' My Heart," and "Kate Have I Come Too Early, Too Late." Bing never issued the latter two on record. Features a unique St Patrick's Day version of his radio show theme, "Where The Blue Of The Night Meets The Gold Of The Day." In over 4,000 radio broadcasts this was the only time Bing ever changed the lyrics of this famous song. Includes a duet with popular Irish tenor Dennis Day on the hit song "Clancy Lowered The Boom." Mastered from original source materials for excellent sound quality. |
