"Irelands finest singer-songwriter and interpreter of other peoples songs returns with his first album in three years. Christy Moores new set is as varied as his celebrated live performances: unexpected songs are reworked with his intimate, soulful vocals. He starts with a series of easygoing pieces by Irish writers, including the upbeat "The Tuam Beat", but the mood changes with the thoughtful, partly self-composed title track, which blends nostalgia and history. Then comes the politics. A powerful treatment of "Wallflower", Peter Gabriels 80s lament for political prisoners, is followed by Mick Blakes "Oblivious", an angry analysis of Ireland, a hundred years on from the Easter Rising. The backing includes fiddle, harmonica and mandolin, and for the final track, Christy recites a poem by Dave Lordan against a wash of sound. He celebrates 50 years as a full-time singer this summer, and hes still taking chances." (Robin Denselow, The Guardian; 4 uit 5 sterren)
