简介
by James Christopher Monger Christy Moore, Andy Irvine, Liam O'Flynn, and Dónal Lunny formed Planxty, a slang version of the Irish word &Slainte& meaning &good health,& in 1973 after collaborating on the Christy Moore record Prosperous. Their self-titled debut arrived that same year to the delight of traditional Celtic music fans across the globe. Their tight, organic, and authentic renderings of tunes like &Raggle Taggle Gypsy,& &The Blacksmith,& and &Merrily Kissed the Quaker& set them apart from many of their more experimental contemporaries. &Sweet Thames Flow Softly,& a Ewan MacColl-penned song about a London Romeo and Juliet, features a beautiful vocal take by Moore, and deft bouzouki work from Irvine, whose original composition &The West Coast of Clare& would begin the artist's long career of timeless ballad writing. Versions of &The Jolly Beggar Reel& and &Arthur McBride,& the latter an anti-recruitment song from Donegal, are energetic and well-played, glowing with the warm compression of the early-'70s British folk scene. Many groups at that time, the Boys of the Lough, the Chieftains, Sweeny's Men -- featuring Andy Irvine -- struggled to find an audience outside of the pub, while the members of Planxty managed to work their way into halls and theaters. Planxty is a remarkable first record from one of the genres most influential acts.
