Revolution (The Dubliners album)


Revolution is the title of the tenth album by The Dubliners. It was their second to be produced by Phil Coulter. This was a landmark in their career. Their sound had developed and Coulter, as well as playing piano on the record, had brought in other instrumentalists as well. The album featured "Scorn Not His Simplicity", a song that Coulter had composed about his own son, who had Down syndrome, as well as a poem penned by Luke Kelly entitled "For What Died The Sons Of Róisín?".
The album was released on CD by Chyme Records in 1999, with a re-ordered track listing.
