About The Songs
Ramblin' Irishman Includes Celtic tunes, ballads, bar songs, heartfelt ballads and historical music, as well! A little bit of everything Celtic, but with Gairin's own style and vocal harmonies like no other. Just as Gairin does the music in their shows, you'll hear lovely ballads, and you'll also enjoy some "stompin' through the Scottish moor" kind of music. That's why it's true that if you like Celtic music you will find something you love on Ramblin' Irishman!
A lot of the music came over on the boat from Ireland, Scotland and other Celtic lands. But, Gairin does it like no other with their unique vocal harmonies. Also, enjoy Tom's flair on Irish bouzouki, 6 & 12 string guitars and Mary Kay's charming accordion.
It's a variety CD that includes Celtic tunes, ballads, bar songs, heartfelt ballads and historical music, as well! A little bit of everything Celtic, but with our own style and vocal harmonies like no other.
A funny thing happened when we shot the album cover! There we are on the cover, just a ramblin' on the V&T Railroad in Virginia City, where Irish-Americans became the richest men in the world! After taking the picture, just as we stepped off the tracks and cleared all our gear, including instruments and photographic equipment, the V&T roared by! I guess this shows that shooting a CD cover can be risky business!
