- Опубліковано 5 гру 2015
- A restored LP cut, "The Croppy Boy", from the album, "I Chose the Green", sung by the incomparable Anne Byrne, circa 1967. On this album, Anne Byrne was backed in vocals and instrumentals by Paddy Roche and Mick Crotty.
The video features pictures from the album as well as incorporating video footage from Anne's live performance of "The Croppy Boy" at the Abbey Tavern in Dublin County, recorded sometime in the 1960's. The sound from the studio album was used to overdub the live performance for portions of this video. - Розваги
Incomparable is the word. A beautifully sung tragedy.
What an absolutely fabulous singer.
Beautiful singer
ANNE BYRNE IRELANDS FANTASTIC 🇮🇪 SONGBIRD ANNE ALWAYS REMINDS ME OF THE GREAT JOAN BAEZ WHEN I HEAR HER SING THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL RENDITION OF A FANTASTIC SONG BY A FANTASTIC SINGER 💖
Lovely to hear the song sung so well
God bless her soul
Beautiful version of this great song. Anne Byrne sadly passed away on 28th December 2020, RIP
Thank you for the comment and the news.
I came across this song reading James Joyces's Ulysses and decided to check it out on UA-cam. Glad I did. It's a sad but beautiful song.
This is the best rendering of the Croppy that I have ever heard. Anne Byrne has a beautiful voice and she does justice to a great song.
I DID NOT KNOW UNTIL NOW ANNIE HAD DIED LOVELY LADY ANNE R I P AMEN ❤
What a fantastic voice . Wonderful rendition . I see it was recorded about 52 years ago and I can't believe I've never heard of Anne Byrne .
La balada del Croppy Boy la conocí con ocasión de mi lectura del Ulises de
Joyce. En el capítulo once Ben Dolard la canta acompañado al piano por el padre Cowley. Ahora se me presenta en voz de ángel y no echo de menos la calidad de Ben.
Anne Byrne, y compatriotas tuyos, miradme; aquí estoy temblando con la vibración que transmites: tu temblor, el de la rama que vibra al ser abandonada por el pajarillo que estaba posado en ella, es el temblor que suspiro al oírte: creo que tú eres la Irlanda en la que me habría gustado nacer. Mi visión se enturbia transida de emoción, por eso tengo que decirte adiós; a ti Anne, a la Irlanda Libre…. y a los muchachos de Wexford.
Beautiful voice
Beautiful
Thank you so much for sharing this beauty. Her voice filled my heart.
Beautifully done. May Ann Rest in Peace. Great, great song!👍👍🇺🇸
She was a great singer

R.I.P. Anne 28th December 2020. Ní fheicimíd a leithéad arís.
Sadly she passed away on the 28th December 2020. RIP
That is indeed very sad news. She was a true legend in traditional Irish music.
Is this taken originally from The Rafters Ring at the Abbey Tavern 1965? I had that LP which was bought from the Tavern on a night when Anne was not singing, but two Australian girls were singing. I was told that the voices of the Australian Girls were actually better than Anne on the LP. Very pure and sweet, I was told. But no idea who those Aussie singers were. Must have been there just on that occasion. I would really like to own a copy of all the music on that LP. Rebel songs. My 1st introduction to Irish music which my 5th generation Irish soul heard. I feel it all still.
Thanks for sharing your experience. This cut, "The Croppy Boy" is taken from the "I Chose the Green" album. There is a version of "The Croppy Boy" on the album, "The Rafters Ring at the Abbey Tavern" - but not sung by Anne Byrne - but by the Ludlow Trio. I've uploaded that version to UA-cam as well at ua-cam.com/video/DnxmapTmUuQ/v-deo.html
Did Ann sing with the Ludlows....big folk group of the sixties.....the Sea Around Us went to No 1 at the time if my memory is correct
Great song, great singer but not the Croppy boy. Good men and true in this house who dwell. Sung by my good 100 year old Wexford friend, and his son Rob, is he real thing. Not a pop song.🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐
ua-cam.com/video/inudphH0pik/v-deo.html. try that John Dowling, there are two of them. Enjoy
More than two versions I'd say I've heard a half dozen
RIP Anne. Your voice is supberb
It's certainly not the version that floats in and out of Joyce's Sirens episode, but a very trenchant rendering withall.
