It's a fine version. Steve Earle wrote this while staying with Sharon in Galway where she lives. She actually played in his first rendition of his song. When Mundy does it, he always mentions who wrote it. So I think well done Steve and thanks for your generosity in sharing it with Sharon, Mundy and all the other worthy singers and musicians.

This is my definition of Ireland. As an American who has been fortunate to have visited twice, I will say this - the landscapes, villages and typical tourist spots are great. However, you must spend your evenings at a local. Wherever you are in Ireland, find your way to the local pub. The people are what makes this an amazing country. They are inviting and scenes like this are not rare. The music, people singing along and just having a good time. You will see people of all ages mingle and laugh and sing old tunes and new ones like this. If you only come to Ireland to see things like the Cliffs and other tourist spots, you're missing the best part of Ireland - the welcoming, fun and genuine resident population.

Would have to disagree there...I mean yes were all born on the same island but that doesn't mean we have to be the same country particularly when you have a large section who consider themselves British and the other Irish. Cyprus is a good example, one island two nations... But that doesn't mean everyone can't get along and when I have been south of the border I have very much enjoyed my nights out and found the people to be every bit as friendly. They way it should be.
