Background notes
Archive material and source history
Kevin McMonagle and The Deadwood Playboys formed in Boston, with McMonagle on fiddle and vocals. Their sound mixed Irish folk and bluegrass, and they put out their first album in 1992, simply called 'The Deadwood Playboys.' They toured widely after that, playing shows in Europe and Asia and releasing records like 'Halfway to Nowhere' and 'Back to the Garden.'
In 2000, McMonagle was arrested for driving under the influence, which he later admitted to. The band had to cancel some shows around that time. A few years later, in 2007, McMonagle was diagnosed with ALS. He kept performing and recording through it, putting out 'The Long Way Home' and 'The Last Waltz.' Their version of 'Always On My Mind' is one of their better-known tracks.
