Ireland's Green Shore

Ireland’s Green Shore fit the original concept perfectly and opens the recording. I learned it from an a capella version sung by Maggie Hammons from Webster County WV. It’s a prime example of the Irish “aisling” or “dream” song, and speaks longingly of a homeland that’s no longer within reach. I built my own version from a guitar tuning learned from Kelly Joe Phelps, adding Stuart Duncan’s fiddle, Edgar Meyer’s bass, and Kenny Malone’s percussion, before crowning it with Del McCoury’s harmony vocal.
