BWW Review: The High Kings Keep the Tradition Alive in Glen Ellyn
The High Kings made their inaugural visit to College of DuPage as part of their tour to celebrate and promote their fourth studio album Grace & Glory. The band consists of four Irish men who perform folk music: some original compositions, some traditional songs that many Irish bands have covered over the years. Many songs during the performance were from the new album, which includes Irish standards like “Follow Me Up to Carlow” but also surprises like American folk song “Goodnight Irene” and even a charming arrangement of Thin Lizzy's “The Boys are Back in Town”.
