shane macgowan’s battered poetry gets the send off it demands on 20th century paddy: the songs of shane macgowan, a sprawling 36 track covers tribute album. the collection sees heavyweight voices like bruce springsteen and tom waits alongside u2, the libertines, steve earle, and primal scream reinterpret classics from across his catalog. irish standouts including hozier, jessie buckley, lisa o’neill, and glen hansard also cover his work alongside dropkick murphys and the pogues themselves. true to macgowan’s lifelong advocacy, at least half of all artist royalties go to the dublin simon community to aid people experiencing homelessness, ensuring the record stands as a fitting celebration of one of music’s great songwriters.
