Alive and Well

Double Dubliners is The Dubliners' ninth studio album, and features all five members of the classical line-up. It is also known as Alive and Well, the title it was released under on the Polydor label. A standout track here is a recitation by Ronnie Drew of Pádraig Pearse's poem "The Rebel". Other notable tracks here are "The Sun Is Burning" and "The Night Visiting Song", both sung by Luke Kelly. In December 1983, "The Night Visiting Song" would become the final song to be performed by Luke Kelly with The Dubliners on Irish television. Frank Peters in The Northern Echo commented that the choice of different instrumentation of the album "lost something of the flavor in the change" as compared to previous albums and the slower pace of the songs caused the vocal harmonies to become "raggy-edged".
