You are entitled, of course, to your view. There are other better, non-showboating balladeers, and many of them. Sincerity is the measure - Mr Hanly and Mr Brady, for example, had it in spades. Mr Moore couldn't hold a candle to either of them. Jimmy was a musician and a prince. Take away the accompanists - Faulkner, Sinott, the many others of quality with which he cloaked himself and Moore is merely a green vaudevillian.

agreed , you sound like my brother who was a big mate of his and often says the same
-
true for you

I'm also sad to hear that Jimmy Faulkner has passed away. A fine musician. Listen to his brilliant playing on the Tara recording (1978):Live in Dublin/Christy Moore, specially solo on Black is the colour of my true love's hair.
By the way: I think Christy Moore's singing is really wonderful and has been so for nearly forty years(shoelaces or not... one is a ballad singer and the other a slide guitarist). Check out i.e. Galtee mountain boy (TG4gaelige, posted).

Yes, but Christy wasn't fit to tie Jimmy's shoelaces - Jimmy had more music in him than a barrel full of Christies. The shame is that the only worthy piece of Faulkner on the net is that soaring solo for Mr Brady; that wonderful piece "(Prayer for) Sarajevo" is only available on RTE's The View - it's a wonder no one has lifted it and made it generally available here...
How little there is of the great Faulkner anywhere out there...

I couldn't agree more.More stuff will emerge, I'm sure of it. There's some nice playing of him on "Christy Moore's Cabaret"
