Description
‘The Gang’s All Here’ is the second studio album by American Celtic punk band Dropkick Murphys. It was released on 16th March 1999 through Hellcat Records. It is their first album with Al Barr (ex-vocalist for The Bruisers), who replaced founding vocalist Mike McColgan in 1998. It would be the last full album to feature guitarist Rick Barton, who left the band in 2000 during the recording of their follow-up ‘Sing Loud, Sing Proud’.
The Celtic punk band’s second album builds on their working class, punk rock sound, but also reflects the influence of Irish folk tunes with covers of ‘The Fighting 69th’ and ‘Amazing Grace’ (complete with bagpipes). With songs that articulate the burdens and exultations of blue-collar America, the Dropkick Murphy’s touch a nerve in all people fighting for a better life.
