The Lonesome Boatman

I’m surprised this one wasn’t already listed.

It was released on the Transatlantic label (TRA 191) in 1969 and was the duo’s second album.

Here is the full tune list:

1. The Spanish Cloak
2. Come by the Hills - Finbar & Eddie Furey, Smith, Gordon W.
3. Sliabh Na Mban (the Mountain of the Women)
4. Dainty Davy
5. Tattered Jack Welch
6. The Flowers in the Valley
7. Pigeon on the Gate
8. Graham’s Flat - Finbar & Eddie Furey, Furey, Finbar
9. Leezy Lindsay
10. Piper in the Meadow Straying
11. The Curragh of Kildare
12. Eamonn an Chnuic (Ned of the Hills)
13. This Town Is Not Your Own - Finbar & Eddie Furey, Healey, Shay
14. Rocking the Baby
15. Bill Hart’s Favorite
16. Dance Around the Spinning Wheel
17. Let Me Go to the Mountains
18. McShane
19. Colonel Fraser
20. The Lonesome Boatman - Finbar & Eddie Furey, Furey, Finbar
21. Carron Lough Bay
22. The Prickly Bush
23. Bogy’s Bonny Belle
24. The Fox Chase

“Floss” has posted the original LP album, I think. The 24 tracks posted by “oldstrings” looks like a compilation of their first 2 recordings stuck together on the 1 CD. There are a lot of various permutations of Finbar & Eddie’s early recordings, and they are very good value - usually around the £2 mark, and you might get them for less on eBay.

Indeed, Kenny, I did post the original recording.
