The High Kings had achieved what many had thought improbable, if not impossible: they were moving the Irish ballad tradition into the here and now, carrying along with them the steadfast older fans while simultaneously bringing it to a new audience.
To say that The High Kings are charting a new course for Irish ballad music – equal parts rousing and reflective, energetic and insightful – is an understatement. They are, essentially, marking out a new and bright era for Irish folk music.1. The Rocky Road to Dublin2. Spancil Hill3. The Fields Of Athenry4. The Rising Of The Moon5. Hand Me Down My Bible6.
