TIM LYONS & FINTAN VALLELY: BIG GUNS & HAIRY DRUMS
Mostly new songs in the traditional idiom penned and performed by Lyons and Vallely with no accompaniments other than laughter and encouragement from listeners on the live tracks. This is genuinely funny stuff, from the epic of the German tourist hunting for a bodhran (The Bodhran Song), to the meeting of the Garda with condoms (The Well Woman Song), to the parody of a famous Eric Bogle song sung one time too many (Willie Mm-mride), and the rhymes are just delightful. Though Vallely does quite well, Lyons is the stronger singer here. Highly recommended.
