Those with a wee bit of the Irish in their blood (or their dancin' feet, for that matter) will enjoy this historical overview/sampler of Irish music in America. Tracing the history of aires, jigs, and reels that came over to America with the Irish immigrants following the potato famine of the mid-1900s, the video examines both the rise of traditional Irish music in the states, and the influence of Irish music on American popular music. Throughout, viewers are treated to selections performed by The Clancy Boys, The Irish Brigade, Cherish the Ladies, and several others. Recommended. (R. Pitman)
