Finbar & Eddie Furey
The Lonesome Boatman (1969)
Transatlantic TRA 191 LP
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 concerts.
Tracklist:
01. Bill Hart's Favourite
02. Dance Around the Spinning Wheel
03. Let Me Go to the Mountains
04. McShane
05. Colonel Fraser
06. The Lonesome Boatman
07. Carron Lough Bay
08. The Prickly Bush
09. Bogy's Bonny Belle
10. The Fox Chase
