Joe Heaney (AKA Joe Éinniú; Irish: Seosamh Ó hÉanaí) (1919 - 1984) was an Irish traditional (sean nós) singer from County Galway, Ireland. He spent most of his adult life abroad, living in England, Scotland and New York City, in the course of which he recorded hundreds of songs. A magnificent singer in both Gaelic and English, Heaney sings in sean-nos, the highly ornamented style of traditional Irish song.

Tape 1 contains recording of the first half of Roaratorio, which was dubbed from KUOW's copy. Approximately 8-10 of Joe Heaney's songs are included in this dub, although many of them are unintelligible due to everything else that occurs in the piece.

Tape 2 contains an interview with John Cage about the piece.
