Ronan Keating - Songs for My Mother (CD)

Details: 2009 solo album from the leader of Irish boyband Boyzone and successful artist in his own right. Over the space of two days before Christmas 2008, Ronan Keating went into British Grove studios with his band and a live orchestra to record a special solo album entitled Songs for My Mother in memory of his late mother Marie Keating and to also celebrate Mother's Day. Songs for My Mother is a beautiful and evocative collection of songs that Ronan remembers his mum listening to throughout his childhood. All of the songs on the album were carefully selected by Ronan and so have a special place in his heart. Along with traditional Folk songs such as 'Wild Mountain Thyme' and 'Carrick Fergus', the album includes tracks by revered musicians such as Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Elvis as well as Ronan's version of Joshua Kadison's song 'Mama's Arms', a song that helped Ronan through his grieving for his mother Marie.
