First, I love Christy Moore. His approach to singing, his connection to audiences, his songwriting and, of course, his voice make him a wonderful performer. This book is autobiographical, but in a unique way. He provides information and opinions as connections to songs, offering the lyrics as well. In most cases, these snippets work well, creating an understanding of Moore's connection to his music and of his long-time struggles to find himself. Sometimes, he's angry, and often he's filled with guilt; his thoughts about his family, especially about his mother, are raw, painful and utterly absorbing. Other times, though, he's whimsical and funny. This book is as unique as the man himself.
