If I Should Fall From Grace With God

Re-mastered & expanded reissue of 1988 album includes six bonus tracks, 'The Battle March Medley', 'The Irish Rover', 'Mountain Dew', 'Shanne Bradley', 'Sketches of Spain', & 'South Australia'. Deleted in the U.S., this is their album on Warner featuring their unforgettable collaboration with Kirsty MacColl, 'Fairytale of New York'. Produced by Steve Lillywhite (U2, Simple Minds, Big Country). Grace flirts with jazz, world music and even norteno-the gloriously romp-y "Fiesta" sounds as if whiskey-parched vocalist Shane MacGowan hooked up with East LA's Los Lobos. Nonetheless, this is still The Pogues, meaning that when the day is done, Grace still feels as if it was born out of the bottom of a pint of Guinness. WSM. 2004.
