Barleycorn - For Folks Sake

The Barleycorn were an Irish traditional music band who first came to my attention playing Irish rebel music in 1972. By the time this album was released in 1975 Barleycorn had polished up their act and broadened their horizons and the only track here which could be deemed a rebel song is the excelent Freedom Sons,The rest of the tunes are a finely delivered mix of evergreen traditional and folk songs.....enjoy
