The album, the second release from Mick, is heavily influenced by Mick's years growing up in Cork, Ireland, and the latter years living in the UK trying to hold on to himself, his identity, his constant rebellion against conformity, complication and bedevilment. There's dancing, fun, mellowness, madness, softness, roughness, drink, lack of drink, bitterness, great joy, hangings, an angel in the form of a blind German.......
Life really doesn't have to be as complicated as we are lead to believe. We need a simplicity in life these days, which is unfortunately lacking.
And most of all, we need a good oul sing-song!
So, come on...get up and join in!

True Stories
author: Kath
There is no mistaking the traditional Irish character of this CD and Mick O’Regan updates the genre with his solid musicianship and breath-taking irony and wit.
While I like some of the songs better than others, this whole CD has an easy, generous quality that makes it equally at home behind the laughter in a bar or at a quiet family gathering.
O’Regan gets maximum firepower from his guitar work and his humble, honest voice is the perfect vehicle to convey these insights (and humor!)
I highly recommend this CD to everyone who likes Irish folk music with plenty of original flair.
