Raglan Road - Luke Kelly

The Humours Of Donnybrook (Ireland) - 1978 Luke Kelly sings Patrick Kavanagh’s Raglan Road accompanied by this friend Al O’Donnell. The song was given to Luke in the Bailey Pub, Dublin in 1966 when Patrick Kavanagh asked Luke to sing my sang, to which Luke enquired, ’ and what song is that Mr Kavanagh?’ Over the years the song has been covered by Ed Sheeran, Van Morrison, Sinéad O’Connor, Mark Knopfler and Roger Daltrey, to name just a few but most agree that Luke’s version is the definitive.
