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.
The Immortal Jukebox 
Thom, I hope you are enjoying your long rest from the blog. What amazing and terrible times we have had in the past 5 months. I do hope that you and your family are doing well. For me it has been very easy. I enjoy mostly staying home. So not really a big change. May Grace in whatever manor you conceive of it be flowing over you in abundance.
