It's beauty lies in its simplicity. It is a song about Ireland, love, history, hope and injustice. Though Pete St John died in 2022, "The Fields of Athenry" will last forever. Paddy Reilly's lovely version can only be outdone by huge crowds of sports fans singing in unison. Sends a shiver down your spine.
I'm not sure what you are asking - This is just my version of a very popular song. I have no CD, but this song has been sung by many, many singers, on a variety of CD's. Almost everyone in Ireland knows this song.
This is actually the original version, sung by the writer and composer, Pete StJohn, and acknowledged by Paddy Reilly, after many years, and many millions of sales.

That's definitely not Pete St John Singing
Original was Danny Doyle . Pete wrote it and he recorded it first . Stop making shite up
@@BusyBrittain Indeed - this is ME singing... a total stranger to the world, but who loves this song
from which album is the song?
Just a song... folk music. I have no records myself. Sorry.
Play father oflynn
Paddy Reillys version seems me quite much better.
Paddy's version is superb , but this man wrote the song , end of story
