Tracklisting & More Information

This album is unlikely to enhance Macgowan's public-profile much further beyond Filthy McNasty's pub in London's Islington, but only because it doesn't contain any of the songs which temperance-favouring laymen are likely to remember. Thus, there's no sign of the minor hits "My Way", "Haunted" or "That Woman's Got Me Drinking" but, perversely, certain non-charting A-sides are included. The best of these is obviously the cinematically scored "You're The One" (co-written with Michael Kamen), a duet with Maire Brennan which juxtaposes the Clannad singers' windswept, virginal vocal sensuality with Macgowan's Gainsbourg-esque cragginess and therefore constitutes the unlikeliest artistic love match since Esmeralda fell for the bell-ringer at that church in Paris. On the other hand, "Christmas Lullaby" is just dismal. Elsewhere, fans of fornication-flavoured vocabulary, rebel songs (the historical "Roddy McCorley" and more controversially "Paddy Public Enemy Number One", a tribute to deceased Republican terrorist Dominic McGlinchey), blazing tin whistles and banjos can't go wrong--even if the version of "Danny Boy" is a case of too much Shane. --Kevin Maidment
