Songs of Ireland (Brobdingnagian Bards album)


Songs of Ireland is an album by the Brobdingnagian Bards released on Saint Patrick's Day in 2002. Unlike the band's previous albums which featured songs of various Celtic origins, this album is a compilation of almost entirely Irish songs.
"The Unicorn Song" is a version of the poem by Shel Silverstein, recorded by The Irish Rovers in 1968. The Bards, however, added a final verse to the song, providing an alternate, happy ending to the tale of the extinction of unicorns.
