Amazing that Glen hasn’t featured on The Jukebox before.
As you can see he’s a charismatic performer who has no problem working a crowd and getting every last drop of feeling from a well worn song.
Check out his covers of songs by Bob Dylan and Van Morrison which are notable for the ‘let’s give it the full lash lads!’ approach he brings to hallowed classics.
Christy Moore is more than an icon of Irish Folk Music he’s a national treasure.
Over the decades Christy has developed tremendous song craft bringing acute emotional intelligence and dramatic intensity to lyric and melody.
His version of The Auld Triangle has the echo of the prison corridors and is haunted with hungry feeling.

When it comes to haunting voices I know of no combination of writer and actor to equal Samuel Beckett and Jack MacGowran.
Beckett’s prose has such wonderful rhythmic pace and poise which MacGowran performs with luminous feeling.

Blog Break :
Thankfully I’m well and safely hunkered down in rural seclusion. This gives me the opportunity for deep listening and reading without, immediately, thinking about turning those experiences into a Jukebox Post.
So, for a while, there will be no new Posts here.
But! There are 388 Posts here for you to explore.
Everything from Amazing Rhythm Aces to Frank Zappa.
Please take a ramble round The Jukebox Archive.
Stay Well.
Has this site been closed? No posts for nearly a month. I hope it hasn’t closed, it was one of the best music sites on the internet! The public could have used some music posts to read, with all this extra time due to the virus.

Hey Thom,
This is my first visit to your blog. Oh my gosh, I absolutely love the music! I’m so thankful that you stopped by my blog, Farmer Days ( I was responding to a comment you had made, and some how I made it disappear and I can’t get it back, I’m so sorry, but I am actually thankful as I found your blog!!)
Take Care
Debra
