5.0 out of 5 stars Long overdue and warmly welcomed, June 15, 2004

Nothing could have delighted me more than to learn of the release of these two fine lps by Christy Moore. Most of this CD is acoustic, and if you are a Planxty fan the more electrified cuts can be a bit of a shock at first, but they will soon grow on you. Highly recommended. There's not a bad song in the lot.

5.0 out of 5 stars A high watermark, June 28, 2009

The second disc, the eponymous "Christy Moore" is the best album of modern Irish folk songs I've ever heard. It's simply perfect. There's no point in me trying to describe the richness and depth of Moore as an interpreter, he was peerless when he made this recording. The first disc is great, but when you listen to the second, your expectations are redefined forever. Sound quality is excellent, another fine re-issue from Raven. I think it's gone out of print again, so if you see it, don't hesitate!
