cover: Andy Irvine -- Rude AwakeningRUDE AWAKENING, Andy Irvine 1991

Starting out with "Never Tire of the Road," Andy's salute to Woody Guthrie, this album is a musical tribute to many of Andy's personal heroes in history.  James Connolly, Michael Dwyer, Sinclair Lewis, Raoul Wallenberg and others make a cast of characters that make this album stand out as a history lesson in social consciousness.
Andy is backed up by old friends Rens van der Zalm, Bill Whelan, Davy Spillane, Arty McGlynn and Carl Garaghty.
