Rarities & Old Favorites 1949-1993: Tin Whistle, Flute & Songs from North Clare & Beyond
Micho Russell (1915 1994) of Doolin, County Clare, was an Irish national treasure. A farmer who became a performer during the folk music revival of the 1960s, Micho was as at home on stage as he was in front of his own turf fire. His vast repertoire of beautiful old tunes, personal warmth and utterly unique approach to playing the tin whistle won him a loyal and enthusiastic following wherever he went.
This double-CD was issued in honor of Micho s centenary. The 92-minute album has forty-nine tracks, of which only five have been released before.
Selections range from humble home recordings made on simple equipment to professional recordings made using some of the best technology available at the time. The vitality and originality of Micho Russell s music are the unifying themes that shine throughout.
This historic recording will be welcomed both by the Clare musician s longtime fans as well as by those who have yet to discover the joy of Micho Russell s music. The album includes a 16-page booklet.
