The Wind Doesn't Blow This Far Right (Vinyl) - By: Lisa O'neill - Model Number: RT0588T

Description

New EP by Cavan songwriter Lisa O™Neill is comprised of a group of six tracks, they include the haunting rendition of Bob Dylan™s ˜All The Tired Horses™ that Lisa recorded to soundtrack the closing scene of the final episode of Peaky Blinders, plus ˜Homeless In The Thousands (Dublin in the Digital Age)™ featuring Peter Doherty, released as a stand-alone single in January of this year.
It was not the first time O™Neill has written about social injustices on the cusp of a change.  Songs like ˜Rock the Machine™ about unemployment in the Dublin dock lands, ˜When Cash Was King™ about the move to a cashless society and ˜Violet Gibson™ about the Irish woman who attempted to assassinate Mussolini in 1926 “ this new song was written in response to the growing issue of homelessness in Dublin and Ireland.  Added to these are a new song and recent live favourite ˜Mother Jones™ about the Irish activist who emigrated to America and became a union organiser,  Mary G. Harris Jones, who in 1902 was called ˜the most dangerous woman in America™ - following her organising of miners against mine owners leading directly to the introduction of America™s first child labour laws. The EP is completed with a stunning version of the seasonally topical ˜The Bleak Midwinter™ and a moving reading of the James Stevens poem ˜Autumn 1915™.
