Enjoy.
Song Trivia: "Whiskey In The Jar" is a famous Irish traditional song about an Irish highwayman (usually in the Kerry mountains), who is betrayed by his wife or lover. It is one of the most widely performed traditional Irish songs, and has been recorded by groups such as the Dubliners, The Pogues, Peter, Paul and Mary, the Poxy Boggards and The Limeliters. It was also given a rock veneer by Irish rock band Thin Lizzy, with iconic lead singer Phil Lynott in 1973. Thin Lizzy's version has since been covered by Pulp (1997), Ernies, Smokie, Metallica (1998) and Belle & Sebastian (2006). Jerry Garcia (of the Grateful Dead) and David Grisman recorded a bluegrass cover of this song together.
