Trad music friends and record lovers, here is another "record of the week" (seems what these posts are becoming) from my collection: -- a very nice 1960 7" 45rpm vinyl EP (4 songs) from the legendary Irish sean nos singer Joe Heaney. This is a lovely gem from the short-lived London label Collector Records (late '50s-early '60s.) Heaney is in top form here - energetic, humorous, with impeccable phrasing yet open and spontaneous. Masterful music on an historic little record. A real treat.
