The tune is based on (and somewhat distanced from) the "[[Chorus Reel]]" (AKA "[[Chorus Jig (1)]]," a reel despite the title) and is said to have had additional parts added by John Mhosai Mac Fionnlaigh. Elsewhere in his work Mac Aoidh states that composition has been credited to John Mhosai (Mac Fhionnlaioch), born c. 1840's.

GLEN ROAD TO CARRICK, THE (Bóthair an Ghleanna go dtí an Charraig). AKA and see "Chorus Reel," "On the Road (2)," "On the Road from Glen to Carrick." Irish, Reel. Ireland, Donegal. D Mixolydian/Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BCDE (Armagh Pipers): ABCCDE (Breathnach): ABB'CDEE' (Feldman & O'Doherty). A popular reel in County Donegal. According to Caoimhin Mac Aoidh (1994) lore has it that Donegal fiddler John Doherty associated the naming of the tune to his uncles from the McConnell family who were traveling tinkers. According to Mick Brown, the tune title stemmed from a meeting of Doherty and fiddler Francie Byrne on the same road. They stopped to play a few tunes together, and Byrne played a tune for which he had no name, unfamiliar as well to Doherty. Doherty picked it up on the spot and they both decided to call it "On the Road" or "The Glen Road to Carrick"[1].
The tune is based on (and somewhat distanced from) the "Chorus Reel" (AKA "Chorus Jig (1)," a reel despite the title) and is said to have had additional parts added by John Mhosai Mac Fionnlaigh. Elsewhere in his work Mac Aoidh states that composition has been credited to John Mhosai (Mac Fhionnlaioch), born c. 1840's. The alternate title is said to commemorate the location of his family home. Paddy Cronin recorded the tune on a 78 RPM under the title "Doon Reel No. 2."
