Christy Moore is one of the celebrated veterans of Irish music, someone who's deservedly a bit of a legend in his own lifetime. He's tried a lot and often succeeded, and even when he hasn't, he's never been afraid of pushing again. But this CD, well into his career, is a contender for one of his best. He's eclectic in his choice of material, veering from the delicate airiness of Richard Thompson's "Beeswing" to Morrissey's "America I Love You" or "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" and   [ read more ]

The Christy Moore Collection, Pt. 2 contains 17 songs recorded between 1983 and 1996. This is by no means a definitive compilation -- Moore rarely recorded anything less than fine, and this is just a sampling of what makes him one of the best Irish folk artists of his time. There are both traditional songs and new material on the collection, and throughout it all, Moore illustrates what a rich, wonderful voice he has. ~ Thom Owens, All Music Guide

With Graffiti Tongue, Christy Moore eschews the multi-instrument arrangements of recent albums in favor of a simple, man-and-his-guitar approach which allows an undiluted focus on his crisp and sparing songwriting. It is perhaps his most mature and finely crafted record, with an incisive lyrical focus on politics and morality that is both compassionate and unflinching. The opening "Yellow Triangle," dedicated to Holocaust victims, is a powerful reflection on the perils of apathetic and isolationist   [ read more ]

Live at Vicar Street came as an unexpected precious gift to Christy Moore's fans, who had reason to believe that the 1994 recording Live at the Point would be Moore's final concert album.

In 1997, persistent heart trouble prompted Christy Moore to announce his retirement from live performance. Two years later, he was able to return to the stage briefly before a recurrence of the illness forced him to cancel all scheduled appearances, acknowledging again that his days as a live performer were probably over. If so, the Irish folk world's considerable loss is mitigated slightly by the fact that Christy's masterful 1994 concert album Live at the Point remains as a testament to his extra   [ read more ]
