Video for the Barra MacNeils' recording of "Darling Be Home Soon" from the 1993 album "Closer to Paradise". Visit www.www.barrama... for more information and music.
I am a huge fan of classic rock and folk music. This is by far one of the best covers of a "classic" I have ever heard. I actually prefer it to the Lovin' Spoonful's original - the Celtic influences in the cover really, really add a fantastic dimension.
Nora1968 I didn’t even know it was a cover; I grew up with this album because my mum went to school with these guys and honestly it wouldn’t be the same song without the Celtic sound.
I have this on 3 of their CDs Closer to Paradise in 1993, Until Now in 1997, and 20th Anniversary Collection in 2007. Ryan on the pipes and Boyd on the drums
This video gave us the first glimpse at the 2 "younger" Barras - Ryan and Boyd, before they were part of Slainte Mhath - who are now performing with the group.
Its not gonna change the world (its from 1993 so it didn't!) and its not as good as John Sebastian's original or Slade's cover.... but I liked this and its video. Worth looking out for more from this band (shouldn't the name of the band be in the title for this anyway?)
