"Prodigal Sons" is an album by the Irish group The Dubliners. Produced by Bill Whelan, who later became famous for "Riverdance", this album featured cellist Nigel Warren-Green as guest musician. Although Luke Kelly recorded his famous versions of "Raglan Road" and "Song For Ireland" during these sessions, neither track featured on this album, although Seán Cannon's version of "Song For Ireland" did. The two Kelly recordings would first appear on the compilation album, "Luke's Legacy" after his death. The album took its name from John Sheahan's composition, "The Prodigal Son". The album featured both contemporary and traditional songs as well as instrumental pieces.
