This is not a great "folk" album...but there are some true Gems here and I enjoy the music for the most part. I agree that it is at times over produced and over sung. However, I admire the spirit behind it and the passion with which Sinead sings these songs. I think it speaks volumes about what kind of musician she is. Unlike many "traditional Folk" artists she is willing to go beyond the usual material we expect from her and take risks.
    Thgere is no doubt that she is a opnderful singer and I wish she would postpone retirement and give this "folk" thing another go..I think she'd be grand second time round.
