This is a truly enjoyable book. Like good Irish music, it takes you
through the pleasures and heartbreaks of life, laughing one moment,
crying the next. It's a warm, touching look back at an amazing life.
For years Liam Clancy has been sharing his music with people the world
over, now he has opened his heart and shared all that he is. It is a
treasure beyond words.

Great
voice; charming writing; great music! Loved this audiobook! Beautiful,
creative production. Clancy is so easy to listen to. He's humorous,
charismatic and charming. The music that is strung throughout the story
is illustrative and unobtrusive. Definitely one of my all-time faves.

"It's
a book for those interested in human nature and interaction. It is a
wonderful trip Mr. Clancy has allowed us to share."

Reviewer: Dermot from Dublin
To be honest, when I bought this book, I was expecting an interesting,
but ultimately bland recounting of a life in showbiz, a book typical
of the genre, processed rather than written. How wrong I was. What I
got was a superbly crafted book about his formative years by a genuine
writer with a sure and sensitive feel for words and an eye for life.
The devil is in the detail and that makes it a devilishly good read.
At times it reads almost like a novel. In fact, I temporarily abandoned
a couple of other books I had in hand, and kept reading to the end.
It is a very honest book, which took no small measure of moral courage
to write. I've been trying to think of other Irish autobiographies to
compare it with, but to be honest, none come to mind. It really is a
unique achievement.
