This Irishman first tapped a nerve overseas with raw folk songs fleshed out with electronics, yet it was his blue-eyed soul and acoustic pop that catapulted him to Irish
royalty. Here, he continues to transform from New Dylan to New Elton,
crafting folk pop with Seventies flourishes. But the syrupy strings and
faux-soulful backup vocals can’t cover for overly serious folk-singer
lines like “I am part of a time that is no more/’Cept in my heart and in
my dreams.”
