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.

I’ll be interested to hear what Glen Hansard does with a Bob Dylan. I’ve always felt that despite his not being a good singer, no one can do Dylan’s lyrics justice like Dylan (same with Leonard Cohen).

Ah, after a quick check, I realized why he seemed familiar. I have a copy of the film Once and it is delightful. I do hope to get to Ireland one day but as wonderful Dublin is, I prefer small villages, quiet and perhaps a pub where I might hear some music and poetry? Is that still available?
