20th Century Paddy: The Songs of Shane MacGowan takes its name from an album that MacGowan always wanted to make himself, according to his wife Victoria Mary Clarke. The full tracklist has not been shared yet, but Clarke and Rubyworks both promise that it will be announced soon \u2014 along with additional artists, too.<\/p>\n

MacGowan died on November 30, 2023 at age 65. As the frontman of the Pogues, he was heralded for his cranky, often tongue-in-cheek delivery of songs about the misadventures of Ireland\u2019s residents. The Pogues\u2019 biggest single in the United States is the sour-then-sweet holiday hit \u201cFairy Tale of New York.\u201d Nick Cave<\/a>, Billy Bragg<\/a>, Jack Antonoff<\/a>, and countless others mourned MacGowan after he died by writing heartfelt tributes. The Pogues lost other members in recent years as well, including bassist Darryl Hunt<\/a> and drummer Andrew \u201cThe Clobberer\u201d Ranken<\/a>.<\/p>\n
