Poor Creature All Smiles Tonight LP Vinyl

Poor Creature features Ruth Clinton, Cormac MacDiarmada, and John Dermodyeach from well-known bands like Landless and Lankum. Theyve gained a strong following by breathing new life into traditional songs. While these tunes have stood the test of time, this fresh wave of Irish musicians honors that heritage by reshaping these classics with a modern twist.

Poor Creatures music stands out in the modern Irish folk scene with its distinctive style. Tracks like Bury Me Not and Adieu Lovely Erin have a dreamy, almost psychedelic quality, while All Smiles Tonight and Hicks Farewell show clear influences from American folk and bluegrass legends such as Doc Watson and the Louvin Brothers. This diverse sound is shaped by producer John Spud Murphy, known for his work with Lankum, Junior Brother, XN, Pretty Happy, Ye Vagabonds, and The Jimmy Cake, a band hes been part of for over two decades.
