The Chieftains



The Chieftains

 

 

In more than twenty five years playing, The Chieftains have brought Irish music to the farthest parts of the world. Their first record, the catalyst that inspired a complete new generation of traditional musicians, is a good introduction to their later work. Made in 1964, the record remains fresh and exuberant, and is still a bestseller.
