The Crock of Gold was the second and final full-length album by Shane MacGowan and the Popes and was released in November 1997 on ZTT Records. The Crock of Gold followed The Snake, MacGowan's first solo album after the breakup of the Pogues, and was less critically acclaimed than its predecessor. The album is named for the novel by Irish writer James Stephens. It is the last full studio album MacGowan recorded before his passing in November 2023. The Crock of Gold was written primarily by MacGowan in Nenagh, The Republic of Ireland and was recorded at Wessex Studios in London, England. (Wikipedia)
