About this tune
Most often heard in D, this reel also has a popular G-major setting that goes by "Jackson's," a name traced to Michael Coleman's recording of it. It was in print by the early twentieth century in O'Neill's collections, and Liam O'Flynn brought it to a wide audience with Planxty, who placed it between "The Old Torn Petticoat" and "The Wind That Shakes the Barley" on Cold Blow and the Rainy Night (1974).
