Eamonn an Chnoic (1956 version) - Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem

Before they were the Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem, longtime New York City residents Paddy and Tom Clancy got together with their brother Liam Clancy and his friend Tommy Makem, both freshly immigrated from Ireland, and recorded a series of Irish rebel songs for their start-up record company, Tradition Records, in March 1956. The recordings were rough, performed in folklorist and university educator Kenneth S. Goldstein's kitchen in the Bronx. Tommy Makem, an accomplished player of the tin whistle, drums, and bagpipes, had recently had his hand crushed in a printing press in Dover, New Hampshire, and Liam was only just learning the guitar. The only musical accompaniment on this recording is Paddy Clancy's harmonica. According to Liam, a few hundred copies of the album were released later that year, catalogue number TLP 1006. The award winning album cover was created by Louis le Brocguy. In 1958, the group went professional and recorded a second album, this time of drinking songs, "Come Fill Your Glass With Us." By this point, Liam was better versed on the guitar, and Tommy's hand had healed, allowing him to play the whistle and drums. Jack Keenan was brought in for guitar and banjo back-up. At the same time, they decided to completely re-record their first effort, and so re-released "The Rising of the Moon" in 1959, with Tommy on banjo and drums, and Jack Keenan on guitar. Jack Melady was also brought in to play the harp. The 1956 edition of the album was recalled, and the 1959 version has been in print ever since. Re-releases from 1961 on include the group name, The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem, rather than just list the names. With the exception of the 1956 version of the song O'Donnell Abu, which made it onto many re-issues for unknown reasons, most of the original recordings have not been heard by the general public since 1956. Until now.
