CD Reviews

A legend in the making

John Fiorentino | San Diego, CA | 06/22/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Don't hesitate to buy this CD just because it is his first, or because of the title. It is an outstanding example of how literate, passionate lyrics can lift wonderful melodies to the level of brilliance. Damien Dempsey sings beautifully about things that matter, in a way Bob Dylan once did."

Outstanding

"Damien Dempsey is a brilliant young singer songwriter who writes and sings from the heart. His voice carries the feelings of a generation of young Dublin people who have lived through the devestation of whole communities due to drugs and he captures the mood perfectly.

His music encompasses folk and reggae and his own blend of urban trad and is a joy to listen too.

No dissapointments here....."
