5.0 out of 5 stars Christy Moore is freaking awesome, April 9, 2002
By 
This review is from: Words & Music (Audio CD)
I don't know what the other reviewer is talking about. I have had this disc for a few years and it is my favorite Planxty. Hands down. The GEM on this disc, the centerpiece, is Lord Baker. It gives me chills. The vocals are perfect, the drumming is right on, and the bouzouki is fantastic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Planxty, March 20, 2009
By 
This review is from: Words & Music (Audio CD)
I owned this when it first came out (how I miss that vinyl!), and even though I haven't listened to it in over a decade (my discs and I became separated over all my moves in the passing years) its lyrics and melodies still come easily - and happily - to mind. I don't think I'll ever forget it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Where is the other stuff?, January 10, 2006
This review is from: Words & Music (Audio CD)
After Cold Blow and the Rainy Night this is a good album. But back in the eighties I owned on vinyl The Kings of Tara by Planxty. Why is this not available? I regard the Kings of Tara collection the best of all the work that planxty ever did, but maybe the fact that I can't get hold of it on CD covers my eyes with rose coloured spectacles. Leave Christy Moore alone. He has brought a lot of joy to my Polynesian family. The Celts were pushed to the edge of a world but the Polynesians kept going. Their music though has the same spirit.
