Free Music Notes for Red Roses for Me

Free Music Review: Down In The Ground
Hit: 5 Stars

IF I SHOULD FALL...is surely the band at their peak but don't overlook this somewhat underrated gem. Amid raging covers of Irish Folk standards lie some of MacGowan's best loved originals. There's the live staple, "Streams of Whiskey" and "Boys From County Hell", which has to be one of my favorite MacGowan tunes. Another neglected classic is the manic ghost tale, "Down In The Ground Where The Dead Men Go". Fenced on all sides by convivial rowdiness, the ballads really stand out."Kitty" could make a dead man weep and their renditon of Brendan Behan's "The Auld Triangle" is probably the greatest version ever recorded. If you've sampled the virtues of RUM SODOMY & THE LASH, not to mention their masterpiece, FALL FROM GRACE, let your curiousity get the best of you and pick this up.
