“Dominic was Brendan Behan's younger brother, and he shared that writer's literary bent and fierce republicanism. "The Patriot Game", his greatest composition, was often rendered in a beautiful, hushed tone by Liam Clancy, who probably introduced Bob Dylan to the tune in the early '60s. Dylan adapted the melody and tone for "With God on Our Side". That said, Behan's own version is a fine example of his rugged vocals and impish humour.”
