Song of the Week: “The Parting Glass” by boygenius and Ye Vagabonds

boygenius and Ye Vagabonds – “The Parting Glass”

My favorite band of this year, boygenius, offer their rendition of one of my all-time favorite songs, “The Parting Glass.”  They are joined by the Irish folk due Ye Vagabonds who previously appeared on my favorite songs of 2022.  The song is a charity single recorded in the memory of Sinead O’Connor.
