For 50 years, Ireland's Chieftains have popularized their country's traditional music, often by collaborating with artists from other genres. On the new Voice of Ages album, out Feb. 21, the band teams with acts from the Americana and indie-rock worlds.
Country trio Pistol Annies — consisting of Miranda Lambert, Ashley Monroe and Angaleena Presley — joins The Chieftains for a lovely version of the Appalachian ballad Come All Ye Fair and Tender Ladies, featuring the group's three-part harmonies.
"Pistol Annies took the old Irish melody of Come All Ye Fair and Tender Ladies and, with the help of The Chieftains, brought it to life in their own unique way," says Chieftains founder Paddy Moloney, who produced the new album with T Bone Burnett.
Other guests on Voice of Ages include Bon Iver, the Civil Wars, The Decemberists, the Low Anthem and Imelda May.
