I don't think I've heard anything from his recent albums but I can't think of anything I've ever heard by him that I haven't liked and I've always viewed him as a master at the art of singing.My own Christy Moore collection consists of only 2 albums but one of them which I believe is sometimes referred to as "The Black Album" has been a favourite of mine (all of my records, tapes, etc. not just CM) for I don't know how many years.
