Sublime

"I love traditional Irish and Scottish music, and I love Damien Dempsey's music in part because of its grounding in those musical traditions and the history of the celts. The Rocky Road is, for me, a sublime experience of both. Damien's voice, always amazing and gut wrenchingly passionate, delivers these songs perfectly, with the kind of intimacy and tiny edge of roughnesss that are present in a good celidh performance. I hope that this is the first of many traditional recordings by Damien"
Beautiful variety

"We saw Damien at an Irish Fest and were intrigued enough to make the purchase. The CD has a wide variety from traditional folk type Irish music to more modern songs. "Rainy night in Soho" is very lovely and the lyrics are amazing. Good CD if you enjoy a range of Irish music."
Excellent!

"A bit different sound from Damien's other CDs, but if you like traditional Irish/Celtic music, you'll love this. I highly recommend Rocky Road!"
