The Snake is the first solo album by Shane
MacGowan with backing band The Popes. Originally released in 1994, the
album is a bracing set of songs that draw heavily on traditional Irish
folk music while pinning your ears back with a raucous, full-frontal
rock sound. Guests on the album include Johnny Depp, members of The
Dubliners, Thin Lizzy, and The Pogues.
Like a number of songs
recorded by MacGowan’s previous band, The Pogues, traditional tunes are
sometimes used as a base for a new song. For example, the melody for
“The Song With No Name” is based on “The Homes of Donegal”.
