Night of a thousand candles
Beskrivning:"British roots-rockers with Celtic/folky blue-collar angst music..." är musiksiten allmusic´s lakoniska sammanfattning av gruppen The Men They Couldn´t Hang. De ohängda männen, varav en verkar vara kvinna, är Cush g/voc, Swill g/voc/tin whistle/melodica, Shanne b/Tibetan anus flute (!), Paul g/bouzouki/keyb, Jon dr/perc.
"On their debut album Night of 1000 Candles, the Men They Couldn't Hang come across a bit like the Pogues, but without the slurred sloppiness or Shane MacGowan's vulgar wit. Instead, the group relies on straight-ahead rock and unadorned folk, which are tied together by their compassionate working-class stance and passionate playing. Most of the record consists of sturdy originals from Phil Odgers and Paul Simmonds, with a few covers, such as Eric Bogle's "The Green Fields of France," thrown in for good measure."
