Some how, i punch in one word and transition from Texas music (Freddie Fender) to HHF!. i had the awesome experience to catch them in downtown Denver, CO, USA - summer of 1993. Free show, city park of some sort, and one band member didn't have passport. End Result! Great Show, and i have been a Hot House Fan ever since! Love to all the fans and to the power of music!

this song was recorded for a BBC/ RTE show called "Bringing It All Back Home." If anyone has the clip from the show please upload it. It is such a haunting and emotional song. This song can be found on double cd soundtrack to the series of the same name. it's well worth adding to your collection.
No, but it is a good version, a little bit soft for me. Dylan's version is head and shoulders above it. He is telling a tale, and I believe it and am there with him.
God Harper,. Had toned We thoughts we could Play And when, we do,. We could Find, them, as to whether A day, and then the room Was founded, again The married, hes no wherever Only, peace, ❤❤❤
Such a good song, everyone wants to sing it, from Dylan to Daniel. I sing it in the bath. Such a great song all versions, i love em all, keep singing!!!!!
I,'ve asked that question myself.The sheer amount of talent on this island and it's getting better by the year. There is an explanation but I do not have it.
Wow an amazing version first time i heard this i was used to paul bradys version but i think liam o maonlai's is better. Think ill be using this version when singing it cheers dude ;)
It is a dam good version. It was totally different, from Paul Brady's and Christy Moores version. This was also important. The Hothouse Flowers, always had great respect for our music and song tradition.
Michael Dineen All this talk about "our" music and "our" tradition isn't healthy- as Liam himself once said: "Traditional music doesn't belong to me - I belong to it!"
The definition of cultural appropriation: Taking a folk song from Louisiana... Slap an Irish twist on it because of a pop cover in the 70s that had marginal success... Throw up a picture of the Irish coastline despite the song literally being set in the Louisiana swamps... Then pass it off as if everything about what I just wrote was normal.
Would there even be folk songs from Louisiana if it wasn't musicians from one genre finding inspiration from musicians of another? This a respectful rendition by some excellent performers. Try to enjoy!
Unrecognizable- This is a terrible version of this song- its like a choirboy singing when the whole spirit of this song begs it to be catarwhalled like a sea shanty!
