Raglan Road | Luke Kelly Cover (Shane For Short & Wild Colonial Bhoys)

"On Raglan Road" is a well-known Irish song from a poem written by Irish poet Patrick Kavanagh. The song is named after Raglan Road in Ballsbridge, Dublin. In the poem, the speaker recalls, while walking on a "quiet street," a love affair that he had with a much younger woman. Although he knew he would risk being hurt if he initiated a relationship, he did so anyway, and subsequently faced heartache when the relationship came to an end.
The poem was put to music when the poet met Luke Kelly (The Dubliners) in a pub in Dublin called The Bailey. It was set to the music of the traditional song "The Dawning of the Day".
The Dubliners released the original recording as the B-side to "Scorn Not His Simplicity" in 1971. One year later the song was included on their live album Hometown! Their most famous recording of the song was included on the 1986 compilation album Luke's Legacy, which was recorded in the same session as the 1983 album Prodigal Sons.
Besides Kelly's version with The Dubliners, the song, often known simply as "Raglan Road", has since been performed by Van Morrison with The Chieftains, Mark Knopfler, Ed Sheeran, The Young Dubliners, Sinéad O'Connor, Billy Bragg, Roger Daltrey, Dick Gaughan, Loreena McKennitt, Billy Joel, Joan Osborne, Órla Fallon, Ian Tamblyn, Tommy Fleming, Mary Black, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Martin Simpson, and Nyle Wolfe among others.
Cover by Irish singer songwriter Shane For Short and the Wild Colonial Bhoys, Minnesota, USA.
