The most important Irish music recording of our times.
The unforgettable documentary Bringing It All Back Home recorded an astonishing array of Irish, American and British musicians in a wide assortment of contexts, from small pubs to concert stages to the great houses of Ireland. Tracing the journeys Irish music has taken over the centuries, the producers traveled to Dublin, London, Nashville, New York and beyond, recording and interviewing scores of artists for the five-hour television series.
The remarkable performances recorded for the series have long enjoyed legendary status among Irish and folk-music fans. 37 tracks were released in the early '90's on a British double CD, now long out of print. Nearly a decade later, Valley Entertainment is proud to make all of the original music available again, freshly remastered by producer Donal Lunny, along with several previously unissued performances from the series. The result is a moving and unforgettable journey along the paths Irish music has taken, both in the New World and on its way back home again.
This three volume series features performances by: Donal Lunny, Paul Brady, Emmylou Harris, Everly Brothers, Sharon Shannon, Mary Custy, Eoin O'Neill, Lee Valley String Band, Hothouse Flowers, De Dannan, Richard Thompson, Clancy Brothers, Mick Moloney, Jimmy Keane, Robbie O'Connell, Maura O'Connell, Voice Squad, Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin and the Irish Chamber Orchestra.
