"The Tracks of Sweeney" is an album by Sweeney's Men. It was first released in 1969 and re-released on CD in 1996, packaged together with "Sweeney's Men". One track on this album is frequently anthologised: "Hall of Mirrors". It is possibly the best folk-acoustic psychedelic Irish song, with mysterious images and echoes. The opening track "Dreams For Me" is another outstanding track, with an insistent guitar bass which transforms into a polka and back to a lament. "Afterthoughts" appears to show the influence of Nick Drake, but it is unlikely that Woods had heard songs from Drake's first album, released later in 1969.
