Album Review: Christy Moore – ‘On The Road’

Christy Moore, “On The Road” (Sony Music)- Iconic Irish folkie Christy Moore originally released “On The Road” in CD and digital form last November, and this live “greatest hits” package is now available in vinyl form in order to capitalise on the current resurgence of interest in this classic musical format. The contents of the triple album were recorded at a variety of venues from London to Westport and Glasgow to Galway, showcasing Christy’s rare ability to switch effortlessly from the gentle introspection of “Ride On” or “Nancy Spain” to rousing exercises in audience participation such as “Viva La Quinte Brigada” and “Lisdoonvarna,” with guitarist Declan Sinnott in sublime form throughout.
