Covering the length of Luke’s illustrious recording career – 21 years (and coinciding with what would have been Luke’s 70th birthday, 17th Nov 2010) - a double CD collection of studio recordings from 1962 to Luke’s untimely death in 1984, covering the original releases of the songs that became synonymous with Luke.
In addition, the collection will include Luke’s rare and brilliant recording of Ray Davies song “Thank You For The Days” which was originally a huge hit for The Kinks and also Kirsty MacColl in later years.
The album also features Luke classics including Raglan Road, Song For Ireland, Scorn Not His Simplicity and The Night Visiting Song and sleeve notes contributed by Michael D. Higgins speaking about Luke in the year following his passing. The collection is supported by Luke’s family and his fellow band members in The Dubliners. |
