This was an especially difficult playlist to whittle down to a mere two hours. In this episode, Katie and Joe present a more somber playlist dedicated to the men and women killed and wounded in war, and to those who came home unharmed but changed forever. SInce we’re a Celtic-themed show, we focus on the experiences of Irish and Scots in conflicts starting back in 1585 in the Anglo-Spanish war and continuing through World War II. Whether it’s the first meeting with a recruiting sergeant, in the heart of combat, or being discharged, there’s an epic song commemorating the event.Artists such as Andy Irvine, John Doyle, Niamh Parsons, Old Blind Dogs, Battlefield Band, and Mary Black sing some pretty stark lyrics that describe well the difficulties, horrors, and glories of combat.
