Christy Moore - A Stitch In Time

Review by Bock Ibn Bock

A Stitch In Time is the latest album from Irish folk singer Christy Moore. The album features 11 tracks, all of which showcase Moore's signature storytelling style and emotive vocals. The album is a mix of traditional Irish folk songs and newer tracks written by Moore himself.

The album opens with the stirring "Sail On Jimmy," a tribute to the late Jimmy Crowley, a fellow Irish musician. Moore's vocals are strong and emotive, perfectly conveying the sense of loss and longing in the lyrics. Other standout tracks include "The Ballad of Patrick Murphy," a lively and humorous song about an Irish immigrant in America, and "The Tuam Beat," a hauntingly beautiful song about the Tuam babies scandal.

Moore's voice is backed by a range of instruments, including guitar, banjo, and fiddle. The arrangements are simple and understated, allowing Moore's vocals to shine through. The album was produced by Declan Sinnott, who has worked with Moore on several previous albums.

Summary by Bock Ibn Bock

A Stitch In Time is a fantastic addition to Christy Moore's discography. The album showcases Moore's talents as a songwriter and storyteller, and his emotive vocals are as powerful as ever. Fans of Irish folk music will not be disappointed.
