This timeless classic from Sting has been covered by many artists, famous and not so famous. Here are a few versions. We have left perhaps the best to last. Here Stings performs his song accompanied by the lute (pretentious fucker) (only joking Sting). – If you care, give it a share –
Thin Lizzy – Whiskey In The Jar
This is one of the most played of all Irish rock tracks, and with good reason. It is based upon an old folk song. Turn it up! – If you care, give it a share –
Dr Hook – Sylvia’s Mother
Rebel Voice is betting that most of you will not have heard this in a lifetime, and may not want to hear it again for another lifetime. Sylvia’s Mother seemed to be a right nasty piece of work. It was only a phone call, for fuck’s sake, she could have let him have a brief […]
Peter Gabriel – Don’t Give Up
The lyrics of this track are perhaps a tad soppy (really soppy) but the sentiment is noble. Rebel Voice wonders if ole Petey had a root when he was holding Kate so closely during the video shoot. She’s very desirable. Perhaps that says more about Rebel Voice than it ever could about Peter Gabriel. The […]
Irish Legend – Gary Moore – Over The Hills And Far Away
A storming song from the sadly deceased Irish guitar legend. – If you care, give it a share –
Creedance Clearwater Revival – Lookin’ Out My Back Door
This song is one to give you a happy feeling just before you take your rifle into the bell tower and begin your business. Postal all the way… – If you care, give it a share –
Bellamy Brothers – Let Your Love Flow
This song got a new lease of life when Barclays Bank used it in one of their ads. It’s a fairly upbeat tune and should make you feel that little bit better after hearing it. Either that or you’ll puke. Check out the flares on these two. – If you care, give it a share […]
Ugly Kid Joe – Everything About You
This is a thumping good tune not heard so much these days. Listening to it has made Rebel Voice think of Benjamin Netanyahu. I wonder why? Enjoy. – If you care, give it a share –
Irish Folklore – The Wild Colonial Boy
The Wild Colonial Boy is an Irish-Australian ballad that recounts the exploits of an Irish emigre to Oz (or the son of Irish emigres) who got into all sorts of bother as he resisted the colonial authorities. In the original poem, his name was John (Jack) Donohoe (Donohue), said by some to have been a […]
Peter Gabriel – Sledgehammer
This track has one of the most famous videos of them all. It’s a pity the musicians of today don’t have quite the same imagination. – If you care, give it a share –
Irish Legend – Gary Moore – Parisienne Walkways
The guitar solos on this are sensational, as Moore walks us through his talents. He was truly one of the guitar greats. – If you care, give it a share –
Motorhead – Ace Of Spades
Lemmy and co really thump this one out there. – If you care, give it a share –
