Christy Moore has announced that his new album Folk Tale will be released on 28th October, 2011 Produced by Declan Sinnott, Folk Tale is the latest result of Christy and Declan’s unique musical alliance. Their long collaboration has gained a loyal and ever increasing following.
Folk Tale will be released on the Columbia Label (Sony Music), whose association with Christy dates back to 1995. He enjoys being a Columbia Artist as they made many of the cowboy films he saw at The Palace cinema in Newbridge in the 1950s.
The album features 11 tracks and Christy hopes that there will be something here for everyone. One song argues that God must be a Woman, another describes a Flight to Freedom. There is a song about The Singing Priests in the Phoenix Park and a song about a bunch of Tulips in Amsterdam.
Elsewhere the songs tackle a wide range of subjects: a murder in East Clare, the Choctaw Indian people coming to Skibbereen, a eulogy to a Mode of Transport in Kildare, and nights spent out in The Naul. There are words from Paula Meehan (the Poet of Dublin) and a song of Tipperary, and from Lancashire comes a beautiful (yet terrible) song called Morecambe Bay.
Other players joining Christy and Declan on the recording include Gerry O'Connor, Tim Edey and Neil Martin with The West Ocean String Quartet.
When he wasn't making his new album Christy was busy with a host of activities throughout the year. July saw the broadcast of One Night Only with Gay Byrne on RTE 1. Christy's first appearance with the iconic broadcaster on The Late Late Show was in 1972. 39 years on, he discusses and sings eleven songs, many of which had not been performed on TV previously.
