5 out of 5 stars A bright star.......2006-06-23

How can you expect an artist to put out three studio CDs and a live CD since 2000 and have every single song be as good as Damien Dempsey's are? The bigger question remains how can he be this good and be so relatively unknown?
You owe it to yourself, and all good musicians in the world, to buy his CDs and see what everyone else is missing. You won't regret it. This guy is a superior artist who will live in your head and heart long after the last song.

5 out of 5 stars Raw & Rivetting.......2006-05-10

Damien Dempsey is an Irish Singer-Songwriter with a difference. He is indeed an angry young man and the rawness of his voice and delivery are both fresh and real. Armed with an acoustic guitar he sings of real issues with a passion that you don't find in most songwriter's these days. This is not your average acoustic album and draws on a miriad of styles from folk to pop to even some hints of reggae. You may get distracted by the rawness of the voice but the melodies and lyrics will blow you away. Highlights include 'Sing All Your Cares Away', 'Hold Me' and the wonderful 'Patience'. It is only a matter if time before the world sits up and notices.

5 out of 5 stars Grabs you.......2005-11-30

Sometimes it takes a few listens to appreciate a new sound. Not so here. The sheer power of the vocals, the acoustic guitar and the arrangements make this an instant foot-tapping, thought-provoking
delight.
