THE CHIEFTAINS 10/COTTON EYED JOE (CLADDAGH 1980) |
| |
 |
| |
'The Chieftains 10' sees further delving into the Celtic world, with Derek Bell having researched Manx harp music, as well
as The Chieftains' first foray into country music, influenced by their first visit to Texas, on the invitation
of Chessley Millikan who had lined up six concerts all over the state.
It was here they first came across the stomping 'Cotton-eyed Joe', which features in the album. A piano was found for Derek,
and without rehearsals, this track was performed with Willie Nelson at the Oprey House. The following week the band returned to Dublin and went
straight to studio and recorded it. The version appears in the album, in an Irish reel.
Paddy remembers his grandmother singing a lullaby "Did you wash your father's shirt".
