The Johnstons - The Johnstons / The Barley Corn. Two albums on one CD. I wish the Gaelic language version (the one I heard first, taping it from a folk music radio show in Ireland thirty years ago) of one song could be added as a bonus track on CD someday. The lyrics to the two versions seem to have different subject matter - though with a similar meaning and message - and therefore could be two different songs set to the same music, which is common in Irish folk. As much as I love Paul Brady, and his voice, I prefer the arrangement in the Gaelic version, with the Johnston sisters' voices to the fore and with more vocal harmonies: I also like not understanding the language.
