Every year about this time, folks in the United States dread the inexorable encroachment of April 15th, tax deadline day. Katie Marie and Joe use the Ben Franklin saying, “In this world, nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes,” as a jumping-off point to put together a great Celtic playlist of songs and tunes about…death and taxes.
The artists this week: Michael Coleman; Frank Harte-Donal Lunny; Joe Heaney; Caitlin Finley & Will Woodson; Michael “Blackie” O’Connell & Karol Lynch; Sinéad O’Connor; Niamh Parsons; Janet Russell & Christine Kydd; Danú; Poor Man’s Fortune; The Bothy Band; Battlefield Band; Solas; and Dervish.
