Christy Moore, one of the stars of the long-defunct Irish '70s supergoup, Planxty, is one of Ireland's greatest folk musicians. This 1993 album is a delightfully solid, good-humored acoustic album that ranks up there with the best of his early work. Includes a cover version of Jackson Browne's "Before The Deluge," which Christy makes all his own, as well as an improbably long, ramblingly discursive tall-tale live take on "Rose of Tralee," refashioned here as "Me And The Rose." This is Moore at his best... well worth tracking down and checking out!

I love Christy Moore's music. He is the best of the contempory Irish musicians. He also has the ability of bringing current isues into his music and make you think.

This is a high energy music. In pure electric-acoustic style. Some acoustic guitars, fiddle, accordion, organ and Christy's pleasant voice. Almost all in C,F,G chords. The first song from Jackson Browne, the other from a travelling man and a yellow furze woman. At the end a special tale from Christy, Me And The Rose in 13:20 minutes! One of Christy's best to my mind.
