This new release is a 2-disc set containing 35 tracks spanning from the Chieftains' 4th LP in 1965 through 2002's "Down the Old Plank Road" -- with an amazing line-up of guests!
The Essential Chieftains (RCA Victor/ Legacy/SonyBMG), draws from their output on Columbia in the 1970s, Claddagh in the '80s, and RCA Victor in the '90s and 2000s, as personally selected by original founding member Paddy Moloney, with over a dozen guest stars ranging from James Galway, the Corrs, Carlos Núñez, Ry Cooder, Emmylou Harris, and Béla Fleck, to Sting, Elvis Costello, Marianne Faithfull, Van Morrison, Alison Krauss, Jackson Browne, the McGarrigles, and many others; compiled by Jerry Rappaport and Paddy Moloney, with scholarly liner notes written by Nashville's Robert K. Oermann.
