Line-up/Musicians
- Aengus McNally / guitars, tin whistle, vocals
- Colm Lynch / percussion, bodhran, wind and wood chimes, vocals
- Alan Brown / bass, 12-string guitar, vocals
- Michael Power / organ, harpsichord, moog, vocals
- Pat Collins / violin, electric violin, vocals
Their album features traditional Celtic folk-flavoured melodies that are given both a delicate and hard-rocking treatment: delicate in the form of melodic, mellow ballads, and hard rocking when Collins’s fiddles battle it out with McNally’s fuzzy, blazing guitar, particularly on traditional instrumental jigs. Although not as sophisticated and instrumentally accomplished as a FAIRPORT CONVENTION or a STEELEYE SPAN, for example, MUSHROOM’s release is still worth a spin despite the average sound quality, if only for the pleasure of hearing some vintage psychedelia given a nifty Celtic folk treatment. Note: the CD version includes the band’s famous mid-70’s singles in the form of 3 bonus tracks.
Tracklist:
01. Early one morning (2:37)
02. The Liathdan (4:17)
03. Crying (3:53)
04. Unborn child (3:44)
05. Johnny The Jumper (3:04)
06. Potters Wheel (2:20)
07. Standing Alone (5:36)
08. Devil Among The Tailors (2:44)
09. Tenpenny Piece (3:28)
10. Drowsey Maggie (3:57)
11. King of Alba (4:17)
Total Time: 39:57

Enjoy the music, and a good glas of whiskey,
Cheers from me,

I had the LP version of this from the late 1970s - which I sold for an amazing sum in the early 1990s - but I also have a three-track EP on the Hawk label containing amongst others a version of Suin Ni Duibhar. I've been told by various experts (!) that this does not exist. Anyone else have a copy?
