Review by Deb Masse

Dan Sullivan's Shamrock Band's album, Classic Recordings Of Irish Traditional Music In America, is a delightful collection of traditional Irish music that will transport listeners to the Emerald Isle. The band's masterful use of the fiddle, accordion, and other traditional instruments create a rich and authentic sound that captures the essence of Irish music.

The album features a mix of lively jigs, reels, and hornpipes, as well as more introspective pieces such as slow airs and ballads. Each track is expertly performed, highlighting the band's technical prowess and their deep understanding of the music's cultural significance.

One standout track is "The Road to Lisdoonvarna," a classic Irish reel that showcases the band's impressive musicianship and ability to create an infectious groove. Another highlight is "The Parting Glass," a poignant ballad that is beautifully sung and accompanied by the band's gentle instrumentation.

About Dan Sullivan's Shamrock Band

A successful dance-hall, gramophone and radio band in Boston from the mid-1920s, Dan Sullivans Shamrock Band specialised in the playing of Irish traditional music and popular songs. Known as Sullivans Shamrock Band on its earliest discs, it recorded extensively in New York and Boston for the Columbia, Victor and Decca companies, from 1926 to 1934. Dan Sullivan was a classically trained piano player, the American-born son of a Cork-Kerry professional fiddle and flute player of the same name, and he worked for the Steinway Piano Corporation in Boston before himself becoming a full-time professional. The earliest lineups of his recording band featured a core of Kerry musicians: Michael C. Hanafin on fiddle, Daniel J. Murphy on uilleann pipes, and Daniel P. Moroney on whistle. Later lineups included Sligo, Galway and Irish-American musicians such as Tomas Senior, Neil Nolan and Larry Griffin.
