The new album "Bing Crosby's Irish Songbook," featuring previously unreleased recordings from the iconic 20th-century crooner, is now available to stream and download.
The 15-track collection, which was released just ahead of St. Patrick's Day on March 10, showcases Crosby's love for Irish culture and his unique interpretation of traditional ballads and upbeat jigs.
"Bing Crosby's Irish Songbook" offers a glimpse into a lesser-known side of Crosby's repertoire, highlighting his appreciation for the rich musical traditions of Ireland.
Featuring Crosby's interpretation of timeless classics such as "Galway Bay" and "Isle of Innisfree," the album showcases the singer's remarkable vocal range and versatility.
Accompanying the release is an official music video for “Galway Bay." Fans may recognize the video clip, from Crosby's 1967 TV special "A Little Bit of Irish," which was filmed in Dublin.

The Irish songbook is the second album release of the year from The Crosby Estate following "A Valentine from Bing" in February.
