Our Take

In his latest release, CHRISTY MOORE presents a comprehensive collection of his early works, spanning from 1969 to 1981. And let me tell you, this album is a trip down memory lane that you won't want to miss.

From the opening track, "Spancil Hill," to the closing notes of "Ordinary Man," Moore's unmistakable voice takes centre stage, showcasing his effortless blend of traditional folk and political storytelling. This guy has been around the block a few times, and it shows in every note he sings.

The standout tracks on this album are numerous, but "Ride On" and "The Cliffs of Dooneen" are definite highlights. Moore's ability to convey raw emotion through his music is truly unparalleled, and you'll find yourself getting lost in each song's unique narrative.

But it's not all serious business with Moore - tracks like "Joxer Goes to Stuttgart" and "Delirium Tremens" showcase his whimsical side, with clever lyrics and catchy melodies that will have you tapping your feet in no time.

Overall, CHRISTY MOORE's The Early Years: 1969 - 81 is a must-listen for any folk music enthusiast. So grab your cup of tea, settle in by the fire, and let Moore's timeless tunes take you on a journey through Ireland's rich musical history. You won't regret it.
