And Listen To My Song is the third LP released by traditional Irish singer Frank Harte. It was the first of many albums recorded with Donal Lunny as accompanist and the first of Frank's many recordings published by Hummingbird Records. It was first recorded on vinyl in 1975 and reissued for the first time in CD format in 2003. [ [http://www.ossianusa.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=ossian&Product_Code=00704-CD Ossian USA ] ] Donal Lunny provides accompaniment on guitar and bazouki on every second track, the rest being sung unaccompanied.

' It is a measure and reflection of the high plateau of excellence achieved and maintained by Frank Harte of Dublin' according to Geordie McIntyre. [http://www.folkmusic.net/htmfiles/webrevs/hbcd0031.htm]
