The style developed from the Texas string band tradition, growing from a fiddle and guitar duo into full swing band groups, and along the way, it drew from and absorbed a variety of other musical styles, thus making it one of the most diverse genres in American music. Until now, studies have been limited to a few book-length biographies, but through exhaustive research and interviews, Ginell and Coffey have provided the most complete and comprehensive listing of pre-War western swing and hot string band recordings to date.Accessible through a variety of indexes, the information included here comprises four sections.

Irish folk music has, since time immemorial, been a means of Irish self-expression and nationalism, with tunes and songs passed down through the generations preserving Ireland's lively oral tradition. With the advent of the phonograph, radio, and TV, Irish music reached a more varied, worldwide audience. This international enthusiasm produced, over the last three decades, an Irish folk music revival--a renaissance that came into full bloom in the 1970s and continues vigorously today. The ballad bands of the 1950s and 1960s, the more traditional music of pioneer Sean O'Riada, the purist approach of the internationally renowned Chieftains as well as late 1960s subtle ballad groups like Sweeney's Men form the rich tapestry of music and musicians that preceeded the evolution of such 1970s groups as Planxty and Skara Brae. They, in turn, spawned bands that accompanied traditional Gaelic songs with acoustic guitars and clavichord, among other instruments, and showed the influences of rock, jazz, classical, and pop music. Recent trends include Celtic fusion, an energized new age music, and excursions into rock'n'roll and pop. If anything, the current Irish music scene--composers and performers--is internationally visible, highly marketable, alive, and growing. Musicians, scholars, and cognoscenti of Irish music will be pleased to find references to Donal Lunny, Dolores Keane, and Mick Moloney in this valuable reference that covers the 1960s to the Spring of 1987.The first work to exclusively address and evaluate Irish folk music recordings, this selective annotated discography lists some 200 recordings and has citations to an additional 100 or more.
