"The New York Volunteer" transcends mere historical recreation, emerging as a stirring fusion of Civil War balladry and Celtic traditionalism. Kincaid, with his robust baritone, transforms a forgotten 1861 broadside into an urgent, contemporary statement. The masterful interplay between Knowles's fiddle and O'Sullivan's uilleann pipes creates a sonic landscape that bridges Manhattan and County Mayo. This isn't just preservation - it's resurrection, with enough foot-stomping energy to make both Union soldiers and session musicians proud. When the pipes swell beneath verses about the fallen Colonel Ellsworth, you'd swear the ghosts of the 69th Regiment were singing along. A revelatory reimagining that manages to be both scholarly and rollicking - no small feat in an era where historical authenticity often comes at the cost of musicality.
Excellent as it always is with Mr Kincaid. Much love for your work from an Irish born and raised Civil War enthusiast. Faugh-A-Ballaugh. This has inspired me to continue writing the Civil War novel I started a few years ago.
Your music many years ago inspired me to look into my ancestor who fought in the civil war. *Pvt. John W Neal, Fountain Green, 84th Illinois infantry regiment. Service from Sep 1, 1862 to Jun 8, 1865.* Seeing you still make music, makes me happy.
So happy to hear new (old) music from David Kincaid! Listening to this on repeat since it came out actually prompted me to pick up my fiddle for the first time is years. Thank you so much for the music and giving songs to my love of history! Faugh A Ballagh!
THE NEW-YORK VOLUNTEER Written by Frank Spear, and Sung by Sam Long. “Twas in the days of ’76, When freemen young and old; All fought for Independence then: Each hero brave and bold! “Twas in the noble Stars and Stripes, In triumph did appear, And defended by brave Patriots, The Yankee Volunteers. Chorus: ’Tis my delight to march and fight Like a New-York Volunteer. Now, there’s our City Regiments: Just see what they have done: The first to offer to the State To go to Washington, To protect the Federal Capitol, And the Flag they love so dear! And they’ve done their duty nobly, Live New-York Volunteers. Chorus. The Rebels, out in Maryland, They madly raved and swore They’d let none of our Union troops Pass through Baltimore; But the Massachusetts’ Regiment No Traitors did they fear; But they fought their way to Washington, Like Yankee Volunteers. Chorus. Now, there’s the noble Sixty-Ninth; Just see what they have done: They dug ten miles of trenches, Way down, at Washington. Now, they are reorganizing, Under Thomas Frances Meagher, And they’ll avenge brave Corcoran, Like New-York Volunteers. Chorus. Then, There’s the noble Firemen, Every ready, one and all, To quench the burning elements, And obey their Country’s call; They never shrink from duty, But you always find them near, To avenge brave Col. Ellsworth, Like New-York Volunteers. Chorus.
Yknow, if you didn’t make such good inspiring military music, I probably wouldn’t be a Marine… thanks for giving me “Pickett duty” 😂😂 But seriously, it is super refreshing to see new music from you, and the amount of Highlander depictions made me very happy. Slàinte mhath and God bless our nation
Oh my god, you are back! i was recently listening to all the irish american civil war songs i've been listening to since 2018. This is exciting news, thanks for all these incredible songs! Love from Spain.
@@joshuamccoy2803 Thank you kindly. Yes I played on the film soundtrack and was in the minstrel show scene. It was an interesting experience to say the least..
Great to see you're doing well! Fantastic music as always. Is there any chance that you will do another full album with songs like these? Greetings from Germany!
i am glad to see you back after so long. will you be doing more civil war songs and more albums of those songs? greetings from trinidad. seems everyone is doing the "greetings from" so had to
When I was bound apprentice in famous Lincolnshire, Full well I serv'd my master, for more than seven year, Till I took up to poaching, as you shall quickly hear. Oh, 'tis my delight on a shining night, in the season of the year.(2x) As me and my companions was setting off a snare, 'Twas then we spied the constable - for him we did not care, For we can wrestle and fight, my boys, and jump o'er anywhere. Oh, 'tis my delight on a shining night, in the season of the year.(2x) As me and my companions were setting four or five, And taking on 'em up again, we caught a hare alive, We took the hare alive, my boys, and through the woods did steer. Oh, 'tis my delight on a shining night, in the season of the year.(2x) I threw him over my shoulder, and then we marched home, We took him to my neighbor's house, and sold him for a crown, We sold him for a crown, my boys, but I did not tell you where. Oh, 'tis my delight on a shining night, in the season of the year.(2x) Success to every gentleman that lives in Lincolnshire Success to every poacher that wants to sell a hare, Bad luck to every constable that will not sell his deer. Oh, 'tis my delight on a shining night, in the season of the year.(2x)
Will you be releasing more new songs? I've seen you have played "The Departure of the 69th" live. I'd love to see that one have its own studio recording. Garryowen, Was my brother in the battle, Nora Creina... There are many good ones with which one could make a new album.
@@davidkincaidofficial7026 Ah I see. I normally avoid the repost channels as I prefer to feed my views to the artists involved. Also they didn't include a link to to your channel, and just directly copied all of your text. Which is an indicator of a bot channel.

THE NEW-YORK VOLUNTEER
Written by Frank Spear, and Sung by Sam Long.
“Twas in the days of ’76,
When freemen young and old;
All fought for Independence then:
Each hero brave and bold!
“Twas in the noble Stars and Stripes,
In triumph did appear,
And defended by brave Patriots,
The Yankee Volunteers.
Chorus: ’Tis my delight to march and fight
Like a New-York Volunteer.
Now, there’s our City Regiments:
Just see what they have done:
The first to offer to the State
To go to Washington,
To protect the Federal Capitol,
And the Flag they love so dear!
And they’ve done their duty nobly,
Live New-York Volunteers. Chorus.
The Rebels, out in Maryland,
They madly raved and swore
They’d let none of our Union troops
Pass through Baltimore;
But the Massachusetts’ Regiment
No Traitors did they fear;
But they fought their way to Washington,
Like Yankee Volunteers. Chorus.
Now, there’s the noble Sixty-Ninth;
Just see what they have done:
They dug ten miles of trenches,
Way down, at Washington.
Now, they are reorganizing,
Under Thomas Frances Meagher,
And they’ll avenge brave Corcoran,
Like New-York Volunteers. Chorus.
Then, There’s the noble Firemen,
Every ready, one and all,
To quench the burning elements,
And obey their Country’s call;
They never shrink from duty,
But you always find them near,
To avenge brave Col. Ellsworth,
Like New-York Volunteers. Chorus.

Full well I serv'd my master, for more than seven year,

And taking on 'em up again, we caught a hare alive,
We took the hare alive, my boys, and through the woods did steer.
Oh, 'tis my delight on a shining night, in the season of the year.(2x)
I threw him over my shoulder, and then we marched home,
We took him to my neighbor's house, and sold him for a crown,
We sold him for a crown, my boys, but I did not tell you where.

Success to every gentleman that lives in Lincolnshire
Success to every poacher that wants to sell a hare,
Bad luck to every constable that will not sell his deer.
Oh, 'tis my delight on a shining night, in the season of the year.(2x)
