Album Review: Damien Dempsey - It’s All Good: The Best Of Damien Dempsey

One of Ireland's favourite sons – whose lyrics famously cheered up Dubliners when spread on city facades by graffiti artist Maser – celebrates his journey as an outspoken social commentator across 29 tracks, two discs, serving as either an introduction to Dempsey's contemporary Celtic folk, with a title track singalong featuring mentor Sinead O'Connor and the orchestral joy of Almighty Love, or a lure for old fans as he dons his seanchaí hat to pay tribute to the Irish soldiers of Mexico in St Patrick's Brave Brigade, alongside fellow new track, Happy Days.
