Speaking about his latest project, Christy said, ”It has been a very different album recording process this time around…. Since 1969 I have been involved in recording but never with a total absence of live performance.  Since March 2020 all my focus has been on this album.

Once more I’ve been privileged to receive some great songs which kept me well occupied.  I produced with Jim Higgins and David Meade engineered the project. There are songs from Ricky Lynch, Paul Doran, Mick Hanly, Wally Page, Tom Tuohy, Gary Moore, Jim Page and Bob Dylan.  These sit side by side with traditional songs and a couple of my own offerings. …Thanks for listening….”
