No penny whistles. No mandolins. No brogue. Just 13 Irish drinking songs completely rocked out and cranked to “11”.
This album was nominated for “Best Celtic Album of 2008” by the Just Plain Folks Music Awards. Also, the single from the album, “Tell Me Ma”, was featured on National Public Radio’s Second Stage.
Sham Rock was originally recorded within one month (February 2008) as part of Record Production Month Challenge 2008 (www.rpmchallenge.com). Unlike the version that was submitted March 1st, 2008 to RPM Headquarters, this version contains 3 additional songs that fit the theme culled from Beatnik Turtle’s ongoing free song project TheSongOfTheDay.com.
