This beautifully haunting song is set in Louisiana. It is a creole song but has become a firm favourite across Ireland. Here it is performed by a number of talented Irish musicians. Which do you prefer? – If you care, give it a share –

The Waterboys – A Man Is In Love

The Waterboys were one of the bands who saved the eighties when popular music was completely shit in the Celtic Isles. The lyrics in this classic are the type of poetry that Bob Dylan only wishes he was capable of.

The Ballad Of Moss-Free

              The Ballad of Moss-Free                                                                              Refrain:             […]

John Lennon And Yoko Ono – The Luck Of The Irish

This is a bit twee but Lennon’s heart is in the right place. Sadly, the same could be said for his unfortunate decision to let Yoko sing on this. Jaysus, but she’s brutal. She sounds like a badly injured crow trying to imitate Janice Street Porter.

Christy Moore – Ordinary Man

This song was a strong criticism upon the state of society when it was written decades ago, yet it fits our world today. How much has changed? Rebel Voice supports Irish music and socialism. This song is both.

Mick Lavelle – Comedic Green Fields Of France

This is an alternative version of the famous song, ‘The Green Fields of France’ in which the singer laments the invention of the song to begin with. It goes down well in Irish pubs across the planet, although the song is in danger of becoming a parody of itself.

Bobby Sands – Back Home In Derry

This beautiful song was written by the Irish revolutionary and martyr, Bobby Sands. The lyrics are among the best to be found in any Rebel Song. Rebel Voice highly recommends this song.
