Chieftain regrets missing Johnny Cash
Paddy Moloney of The Chieftains has admitted that he tried to arrange for a collaboration between the late country music legend Johnny Cash and The Chieftains in Wicklow in 1988, but that the meeting didn’t take place.
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 10 Mar 2010
In a revealing Hot Press interview, the Chieftain-in-chief talks about the band’s recent collaboration with Ry Cooder for the album San Patricio, which also features Liam Neeson.
The album was inspired by the story of a group of Irish troops who switched sides during the American-Mexican war of the 19th century. Moloney has been intrigued by the story since he first came across it.
Read the full, fascinating story behind the album San Patricio in tomorrow's issue of Hot Press with Florence (she of The Machine) on the cover.
