Clear the Way - John Doyle

[SharonCoogan-svfv]

I wish that I’d discovered John Doyle many years ago. Feels like time has been wasted.
His guitar playing is awesomely natural. He plays it like how a Mongolian rides a horse.
And such a lovely person in there also. 😍

Was googling the host of "Heck off Commie!" (Also named John Doyle) and came across this. Glad I did.

American Military History professor showed this in class today. A beautiful song and heartbreaking story.

Faugh a Ballagh!

Saw him last month in Lancashire, UK. Awesome and one of the best folk gigs for a long while...everytime in future.

Amazing ... puts me in mind of Dougie MacLean, one of my all-time favorites.

How have I missed this gem of an artist ?!

[grafx]

With his moon face, he's the best singer/guitarist in Irish music I've ever heard!!!

Here today because of Tony Polecastro's Acoustic Tuesday featured John Doyle. Holy cow, how did I ever miss this artist? Diving deep into the YouTube hole after John Doyle tonight.

Doyle is pretty amazing - incredible musicianship. As I've watched other videos of the great Celtic, Breton and Bluegrass artists, I've noticed Doyle playing with all of them. Brilliant.

Watched the show of a guy who studied under this guy for many years. Needless to say, it was a hell of a show. But he gave all props to this man, his teacher

Fág an bealach. Pure class, Mr. Doyle. Clear the way, I need to buy this man's album!

[mikethesupercomputer]

I don't think this is the John Doyle im looking for

[kolozsboronkay]

Like fine Irish whiskey he's getting better and better as time passes by...

[rasmusdahlberg]

This is good! Heard "Clear the Way" the first time at Tonder Festival in 2010 and I've missed it ever since... So good to be reunited with this great song!

Magnifique et génial!! John tu es unique!!!!

[ChrisNeilMusic]

I saw John in Alexandria D.C. with Niall and Killian Vallely. Amazing entertainers, all of them. Glad to find this on youtube; now, if only I could find the one about the girl with long dark hair...

[colleenmcgraw]

Once again, John..you amaze and delight us with your musicianship and voice..

[CrazySC]

I love it! This is about the Irish Brigade in the civil war!

Many record companies these days try to restrict access to any form of their music that doesn't directly generate them significant revenue. Either they have no trust in the quality of their music, the interest of their listening base, or frankly because they are simply idiots. I bought a physical copy of this album because I heard it on youtube first. Keep it up!
