For such a small nation, Ireland has had an incredible influence on the world around it. And of all the cultural wonders for which the Irish are best known, I have to say that I love their traditional folk music most of all. Here are 24 of our favorite Irish folk tunes. Listening to these I feel like I am strolling along the Emerald Isle's famous green pastures. As you savor the haunting words and images, and feel the rhythms of the old country, you'll realize that we probably all have a bit of Ireland in our hearts.
