‘Wild and Wicked Youth’ New CD by Tullamore
Tullamore’s much anticipated new CD, Wild and Wicked Youth, has been released.
The Kansas City based trio known for their intricate renderings in song and string of traditional tunes of Ireland and Scotland, have produced their strongest album to date.
With Phil Smillie of Scotland’s legendary Tannahill Weavers handling the post-production work, the resulting Wild and Wicked Youth, or what I’ve heard of it so far, is a sumptuous piece of work with a gorgeous production.
You have beautiful vocals, delicious strings, and some very tight performances by Mark Clavey, Mary Hanover, and Rachel Gaither. Beyond that I can’t really say, because I’ve only heard the audio samples available on Tullamore’s website - though every tune has a sample available and each sample is of a very generous length.
I listened to them all, and was especially fond of what I heard of the Wedding Jigs and the Butcher’s Set, along with Arthur McBride, and Work of the Weavers. You’ll also find very strong harmonies on My Johnny Was A Shoemaker and Bonnie Susie Cleland.
Purchase a copy of Wild and Wicked Youth by sending a check or money order, payable to “Tullamore”, for $17 ($15 + $2 shipping/handling) to:

Here’s Tullamore playing at the 2007 Weston Irish Festival on one of the indoor stages at O’Malley’s Irish Pub:
And, as I say every time, Tullamore is an Anglicization of the Gaelic for ‘Big Hill’ - Tulach being ‘hill’, and Mór being ‘big. It gives its name to a town in Offaly in the midlands of Ireland, and another small one in Kerry. The Whiskey Tullamore Dew, is named after the Offaly town.
