Book Reviews of One Voice
Book Review: A Winning Memoir from Ireland's Radical Troubadour
Summary: 5 Stars
Christy Moore has supported so many human rights causes in different countries that he makes Bob Dylan seem politically-timid, Joan Baez look lazy, and may have spent more time performing in prisons than Johnny Cash. Moore begins each of the 200+ chapters with the lyrics of a song in his repertoire, many of which he has written, and explains what the song means to him. With openness about his feelings and candor about his wild-man past, he achieves an intimacy and depth that eludes more traditionally-structured biographies. Every bit as good a singer as Van Morrison, Sinead O'Connor and Bono, Moore could have cashed in a long time ago with more mainstream material, but instead has followed his passion for Irish "trad," folk and protest songs of many nations. "One Voice" includes many photos of Moore's family, friends and fellow musicians. An engaging self-portrait of an artist/activist, whose infectious love of folk music and the people who make it will keep readers turning pages long after they meant to go to sleep.
