Following the resounding success of his duets album, ‘The Two of Us’, the second posthumous album release from the late singer/songwriter Christie Hennessy, entitled ‘A FRIEND OF MINE’ is due out on 30th October.

The album concept of  ‘A Friend of Mine’ has been crafted with great care by his family - from selecting suitable tracks from old tapes and DATs and material recorded by Christie in the months prior to his passing; providing duet, backing vocals and instrumental backing - to the tasteful and sympathetic production by his son, Tim Ross.  For Christie’s family it has been a complete labour of love as finishing this album is what Christie would have done had he been here, so it was important to them to fulfil his final wishes.  The force of needing to record new songs and finish two albums kept Christie strong and motivated, right up until his final day.

Christie Hennessy’s great gift for crafting songs and singing them stayed as strong as ever in his last months, borne out in these recordings. His unique presentation of the colourful tapestry of words woven throughout the stories within each of his songs remains unchanged - as ever.  Now Christie Hennessy is to be immortalized in a bronze statue to be erected in the town square of his home town, Tralee, Co. Kerry.
