Review

Black 47 is named for the darkest year of the Irish potato famine. They are first and foremost a live pub band, and they're at their rowdy, profane best when heard from a piss-and-Guinness-soaked stage. County Wexford-born bandleader Larry Kirwan sympathetically addresses the sometimes radically opposed concerns of Irish immigrants in New York and native-born Irish-Americans, keeping a wary foot in both camps. While their economic and cultural points of reference often part company, the two groups nonetheless share a tragic and much-brooded-over history, a fondness for a dram downed in good company, an obsessive preoccupation with sex, and a sense of humor so wittily self-deprecating that it passes for satire. This live "greatest hits" package offers refueled versions of Black 47's most blistering anticlerical and/or political rants, including "Fires of Freedom," "American Wake," and "I Got Laid on James Joyce's Grave." --Christina Roden
