Oh, my! Giddy Up Go AND Deck of Cards! Both are just stunning songs. There's a Minnie Pearl respsonse to Giddy Up Go. I don't remember why she left but it was completely trivial and could have easily left a note.

Deck of Cards gets better every time I hear it. I think I've found six or seven versions and every single narrator knew the soldier. What are the odds of that!!? ;-)

re: The Gun

Jeez, he practically shoots these men in the back. Is that what Jesus would have done?

Val Doonican! There's a reference you don't see every day.

"re: The Gun

Jeez, he practically shoots these men in the back."

That song is actually "The Mission". There are other links that go to the wrong songs here. Here's hoping that gets fixed.

All wonderful stuff! but is "The Deal" actually one of those tracks? And what is the title of the one with the brother marrying his brother?
Thanks

Pete

Thanks David for posting this classic album.

Pat Campbell has long been a great favourite of mine. I have this album and very rare it is too. The unfortunate thing is that, as Sammy Reed says, most of the links are to different songs. Tracks 12 and 14 are the same song and The Deal is missing completely. It would be a shame to deprive everyone of the unique experience of hearing The Deal. Once heard, never forgotten.

Don't worry folks, just a slight hitch caused by temporary insanity on my part (it was just one of those weeks!). I have asked Otis to amend the titles and to include The Deal. My apologies for any confusion...

THANKS!

My dad gave me this album when I was very young and it is a most precious item - I have now put him onto this web site so that he too can enjoy listening to this very lovely music.

Pat Campbell's album the Deal is great.
Has he done anything else ?

"Deck of Cards" ... "I was that soldier ..." love it, love it love it!!!

Pat Campbell is one of the truly great Irish country singers who seems to have either gone largely un-noticed or forgotten about.

I have the album Just a quite conversation and it's been in my collection for many years after hearing pat on the UK's BBC Radio Humberside Country Music Time programme, as he was a favourite of Tex Milne the DJ of that programme.

Mmmm. Just wish there was more from this great Icon of Irish Country Music.

I remember Pat Campbell presnting a country-music show on Radio 2 in the early 70s, where he featured Jim Reeves and Johnny Cash sections and also gunfighter ballads, including some of his own and that other great declaimer, Lorn Greene. Yes, it was mosrtly maudlin stuff, but there were nuggets too and he introduced us to the better class of US artist too.

I wonder if Pat is still around; he was a unique mix of Des O'Connor and Val Doonican.
