Way back in the 1980s Danny Doyle recorded an album called 'The Highwayman', featuring Dónal Lunny, Andy Irvine and others. I think it was produced by Dónal. It was an unusual pairing, considering the type of songs Danny played but the quality of the accompaniment led to some great tracks—not surprising when you consider the musicians involved.
Anyway, it must have been deleted from the catalogue fairly soon afterwards. I haven't seen it anywhere since.
Another album was one made by the late great Tommy Makem and Liam Clancy, also produced by D. Lunny. I think this featured the song 'Gentle Annie' but I could be wrong. Again, no sign of this album anywhere today.
Yes, yes, yes! The Highwayman was one of my favorites.
Unfortunately I don't have it any more. Sold it at a flea market along with all my Beatles memorabilia..............the week before John Lennon was killed. I'm always a day late and a dollar short!

Has anyone else ever seen these?

Hmmm, it's too early to think but I may have the time line wong on the sale of the album.
