This collection covers the full sweep, from his early Pogues days to his later, more literary work, and half of all artist royalties go to the Dublin Simon Community, which supports people experiencing homelessness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe guest list is remarkable. Bruce Springsteen opens with A Rainy Night In Soho, one of MacGowan's most tender love songs, and Hozier takes on the much-loved Fairytale Of New York. Tom Waits, a kindred spirit if ever there was one, turns to Summer In Siam, and U2 tackle Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pogues themselves also appear, while Primal Scream, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Steve Earle, Glen Hansard and Dropkick Murphys show just how far his influence spread across punk, folk and rock, from Dublin pubs to American arenas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaucous in places and achingly tender in others, it is a fitting send-off for a writer who made beauty out of chaos, night after night.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57188209525041,"sku":"8721465866742","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Various_Artists-20th_Century_Paddy_The_Songs_of_Shane_MacGowan_3LP.jpg?v=1793291304","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/various-artists-20th-century-paddy-the-songs-of-shane-macgowan-3lp","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
