“It was a matter of not seeing the woods for the trees. Glorious songs have been in Ireland forever, but a lot of these were so popular they were sung only by drunken men at weddings. They didn't have any regard for the song at all. So, I picked out 14 songs that I had grown up with, songs with great melodies.

So I presented them in a new way, with piano, keyboards, strings, and a contemporary rhythm section. I just treated the melody with a bit of dignity and a bit of style.” KnowsMenWayWritingYearsHas BeensMatterHardValuesSongBitsKnow HowForeverSeeingTreeStyleAppreciateDignityRegardWoodsTreatedContemporaryRhythmPianoGloriousStringsMelodyIrelandNew WaysSongwritersSectionsKeyboardsRhythm Section Author:Phil Coulter
