Review

An autobiography which dispenses with a traditional life-narrative in favour of an approach that's far more innovative and revealing. This is one of the few music books you'll read in which the subject eloquently communicates their love of music and illustrates just what it has meant throughout their life.' -- Independent on Sunday 'poetic and honest' -- FT 'a frank account of the much-loved singer's rip-roaring career' -- The Daily Telegraph 'Essential reading for anyone who owns even one Christy Moore CD.' -- The Irish Times 'intimate, absorbing and sometimes disturbing' -- Sunday Independent
