Peter at Detectives Beyond Borders has written on Whiskey in the Jar, the much recorded song about an Irish highwayman and his double-crossing gal. I was thirteen years old when Thin Lizzy hit the UK charts with their version. Peter's post made me want to hear it one more time. (I'm with Declan Burke on this — I think Thin Lizzy's is the best version — but YMMV.)
