Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem - Rising of the Moon

The Rising of the Moon [Irish Songs of Rebellion] is a collection of traditional Irish folk songs performed by The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. It was the group's first album and was initially recorded in 1956. The group had yet to develop its distinctive musical sound, so there was little ensemble singing. This original 1956 version of the album has never been reissued but a second version was released in 1959. This second version of the album was reissued under the same name in 1998 for the 200th anniversary celebrations of the Irish Rebellion of 1798.
