Beautiful Day Forty Years of Irish Rock

"Beautiful Days: Forty Years of Irish Rock tells the story of modern Ireland from the perspective of the music produced across the island during a period of rapid decisive change. The volume is made up of an introductory essay followed by short essays on forty-one songs (one from each year between 1964 and 2004) interspersed with photographic images relating to individual performers, songs and/or cultural context."--BOOK JACKET.
