Pogues Ultimate Collection CD

Fusing the spirit of punk rock with traditional Irish folk music, Shane MacGowan and The Pogues created a distinctive musical style and influenced such modern alternative heroes as Dropkick Murphys and the Real McKenzies. MacGowan's songwriting and distinctive vocals have created some great music, both in the studio and live. This fantastic double CD brings you the best of both The Pogues' worlds. Disc 1 features 22 classic singles and album tracks including 'Irish Rover' (with the Dubliners), 'A Pair of Brown Eyes', 'White City, 'London Girl', 'Fiesta', their unique rendition of Ewan MacColl's 'Dirty Old Town' and 'Fairytale of New York', which features the incomparable vocal talents of the late Kristy MacColl (Ewan's daughter!). Disc 2 showcases The Pogues live in concert, recorded at the legendary Brixton Academy in 2001. This second disc features an additional 22 blistering performances including 'Turkish Song of the Damned', 'Sally Maclennane', 'Young Ned of the Hill' and 'The Sickbed of Cuchulainn' among others.
