1971 studio album by Tír na nÓg
Tír na nÓg is the first album by Irish band Tír na nÓg . It was released in May 1971 in the United Kingdom by Chrysalis Records and distributed by Island Records but was not published in the United States because Leo O'Kelly and Sonny Condell refused to record a cover of Bob Dylan 's "Maggie's Farm " for the album, a song they regularly played live.[ 3] German and Spanish presses of the LP have an Island label although the Chrysalis logo also appears on them.
