The Rising of the Moon (album) (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

The Rising of the Moon: Irish Songs of Rebellion is a collection of traditional Irish folk songs performed by The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. It was the group's first album and was initially recorded in 1956. For the original recording, the only instrument used was Paddy Clancy's harmonica, since Tommy Makem had damaged his hand and Liam Clancy was still learning how to play the guitar. The group had yet to develop its distinctive musical sound, so there was little ensemble singing. In 1959, the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem re-recorded the album with different arrangements. For this new version, they brought in backup musicians on guitar and harp, and Tommy Makem played the whistle and drums. Both editions of The Rising of the Moon were released by Tradition Records, the Clancy Brothers' home label run by eldest brother Paddy Clancy, who also wrote the liner notes for the album. The Rising of the Moon has been reissued on LP, cassette, CD, and digital download on several occasions. The cover, depicting a white shirt bloodied by a wound to the heart under the rising moon was designed by Louis le Brocquy (en)
