In a long career that has produced 12 albums, Luka Bloom has rarely put a musical foot wrong.

The 53-year-old younger brother of legend Christy Moore is an accomplished Irish folk singer-songwriter in his own right and is known for inspiring lyrics and gorgeous melodies.

New album Eleven Songs is more of the same gentle material that ebbs and flows wonderfully from track to track.

Best are Sunday and Eastbound Train.
