This recording of John Doherty was made in the mid 1970's when John was 83 years old. The tunes fly out in grand 'Donegal' style. John Doherty is no longer with us. I highly recomend that you give this album a listen. One amazing thing about this album is that several tunes sound as if they are being played on the pipes. Perhaps it was the miking, the room, type of strings, etc. all variables of course. But it was I believe mainly the style of playing for those particular tunes. Simply amazing.
Some notes on the tunes. 1) Untitled Reel; a varient of 'The West Wind'. 2) Black Mare of Fanad; a varient or cousin of 'Nine Points of Roguery'. 4)The Bargain is Over; also known as 'Who will be King but Charlie'. 6)Untitled; also known as 'Beer and Ale and Brandy' (Joyce), also known as 'An Rogaire Dubh' (O'Farrell). 11)The Knights of St. Patrick; a varient of 'The Gold Ring'. 12) The Dispute at the Crossroads; also known as 'Doctor Gilbert's 13) Stormy Weather; varient of Miss Monaghan's and Connacht Lasses. 14)Miss Patterson's Slippers; these are two reels known as 'Music of Ireland' and 'Roscommon Reel'. 19) Untitled; also known as 'Careys Dream' and as the 'Cameronian'. 24) The Monaaghan Switch; also known as 'Our Boys' (Coles).
