Our Take

Ah, CHRISTY MOORE, the man, the myth, the legend. The Irish troubadour has done it again with his latest album "The Iron Vest Behind The Velvet".

From the moment you press play, you are transported to a land of folk-infused melodies and poignant lyrics. Moore's signature gravelly voice is as powerful as ever, cutting through the music like a hot knife through butter.

The album kicks off with the rousing track "Rebel Heart", a heartfelt tribute to Moore's roots and the struggles of the Irish people. It's an anthemic start that sets the tone for what's to come.

Throughout the album, Moore tackles a range of topics, from love and loss to politics and society. Tracks like "The Ballad of Rosie Hackett" and "Unfinished Revolution" showcase his storytelling prowess, painting vivid pictures with his words.

But it's not all serious business on "The Iron Vest Behind The Velvet". Moore shows his playful side with the jaunty track "Paddy on the Railway", a cheeky ode to everyone's favorite drunk uncle at the family wedding.

Overall, "The Iron Vest Behind The Velvet" is a triumph for CHRISTY MOORE. It's a testament to his enduring talent and his ability to captivate listeners with his music. So sit back, pour yourself a pint of Guinness, and let Moore's music wash over you. You won't be disappointed.
