Crooked Jack - Michael Kelly - (Dominic Behan cover)

One of the many songs written by prolific Irish songwriter and political activist, Dominic Behan. It speaks of the terrible conditions and the harsh toll on the body suffered by many Irish workmen. I learned this one through oral tradition as a fast song good for singing at the pub, but after recently hearing a much more mournful and dirge-like take on it, I wanted to experiment with mixing the two styles by using a slow, almost a capella introduction. --- Check out music live-streams on my Twitch TV channel:   / bard_mk   If you enjoy my music, please visit my Patreon page and consider becoming a patron of the arts!
