Irish Song - Lambs on the Green Hills

Emmylou Harris & The Chieftains - Lambs on the Green Hills

This a wonderful old traditional Irish song, in honor of Seán Ó Riada (died 10/3/71), founder, composer, and arranger for the Chieftains. He composed Mná na hÉireann (Women of Ireland). Guided by his vision, traditional music changed radically, and became accessible to a modern Irish audience, and through this traditional music, the cultural life of Ireland was invigorated. (taken from the book "Bringing It All Back Home" by Nuala O Connor).
