The Devil in Mr. Jones

Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?

A: To play on a Chieftains' album.

You can hear it now, "Hullo, this is Paddy Moloney. I don't suppose you'd like to come down and be on my band's next album?"

Who?

Why would people like Sting and Lyle Lovett rush to record with a tatty folk group? Well,

• They'll get to be on an album with no bad cuts.
• They'll probably get a grammy. (So far, the Chieftains have six grammys and 18 Grammy nominations.)
• They'll get to actually hang out with the Chieftains.

Paddy Moloney even got Tom Jones to do the "Tennessee Waltz." Backed by tin whistle and small pipes.
