'Live > From
Dublin - A Tribute To Derek Bell'
The critically acclaimed and two time Grammy Award nominated
'Down the Old Plank Road' was one of the major events
in roots
music circles last year. The record paired the world's
most famous traditional Irish band with some of the
greatest
pickers, troubadours, country stars and American favourites
in Nashville. The Chieftains were out to demonstrate
the
musical bedrock that Ireland and America share. Sometimes
the songs were native to one side of the Atlantic and
sometimes they came from the other. It made no difference.
Whatever the song's origin, the collaborations on Down
the Old Plank Road worked brilliantly.
The subsequent TV special and DVD included several performances
that did not appear on the album, suggesting the The
Chieftains
had more Plank Road "in the can", and 'Further
Down the Old Plank Road' is proof of that. Whether it's
a sad ballad or a hornpipe, this is music that unites
our cultures in a profound way. And whether in a studio
in Nashville or on a stage in Dublin, The Chieftains
communicate
in a universal language.
The album's 16 tracks feature performances by Chet Atkins,
Carlene Carter, Rosanne Cash, Emmylou Harris, Patty Loveless,
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Ricky Skaggs, Nickel Creek, John Hiatt,
Allison Moorer, Tim O'Brien, John Prine, Jerry Douglas, Joe
Ely, Don Williams and Doc Watson.
This discography is a comprehensive listing of all Chieftains'
official recordings. Please click on an album of your
choice from the list on the right to see details on that
