Here is a playlist to drink Green Beer to. Like many of my playlists; it's loongg* ; 4+hours.
Maybe only listen to the first 20+ songs; about an hour. That part is a hybrid of pop and traditional and was my motivation
behind making this. The last 3 hrs is more traditional. Music you might hear in the pubs.
Features several (there are many to choose from) versions of the song "Galway Girl". Lasts about 15 mins..
If you get your fill of "Galway Girl" skip ahead.
One of the best "Irish songs" was written by one of my favorites from Texas; Steve Earle.
His song "Galway Girl" has become an international sensation. Becoming "an ole Irish Classic".
With Steve Earles Texas roots it's not hard to imagine this being a Cajun Zydeco song. The mix between traditional Irish and French stirred up in the Gumbo pot of Louisiana. All the way back to Ireland.
A cover version of the song by Mundy and Sharon Shannon reached number one and became the most downloaded song of 2008 in Ireland; it has gone on to become the eighth highest selling single in Irish chart history. The song has been the subject of numerous covers and live interpretations.
What is the story behind the Galway Girl?
Who was the Galway Girl song about? The song was inspired by a real woman that Earle met in Galway in 1998, when he was performing at the Galway Arts Festival. Her name was Joyce Redmond, and she was a local artist and dancer. Earle was married at the time, but he was captivated by Redmond's beauty and charm (GRG- Earle has been married seven times, including twice to the same woman. HA)
What does Galway Girl mean in slang?
Galway is a place in western Ireland. A girl from here is a Galway girl
According to urban dictionary, she's a girl with black hair and blue eyes. Made famous by Steve Earle in his song Galway Girl, which is about such a girl.
The City of Galway has grown an annual festival celebrating "Galway Girl".
Please take 5 mins and play this video. It will put you in the mood.
I can feel my wee bit ( I know; that's Scottish) of Irish Blood today; and it feels good. Celebrate. grg
