Synopsis

Bringing It All Back Home: The Influence of Irish Music / Edition 2 \n\nBlending social history, interviews with major Irish musicians, and analysis of musical techniques, this book tells how Irish music emigrated to America and England and eventually wound its way back to the Emerald Isle-enriched and reinvigorated. Years ago, Irish traditional music was created and heard in the remote rural communities, but it was in America that Irish music reinvented itself. Twentieth-century technology sent it off in many exciting directions to meld with rock, country, pop, electric folk, blues, and the avant-garde. This absorbing book chronicles those transformations-from the Clancy Brothers, Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, Planxty, and Clannad, to the Pogues, U2, and Sinéad O'Connor.\n\nAuthor Biography: Nuala O'Connor won an Emmy for writing a one-hour version of Bringing It All Back Home for the Disney Channel. She is an independent film producer.
