Sobre Now

Now é um álbum de estúdio dos The Dubliners lançado em 1975. Após a saída de Ciarán Bourke e Ronnie Drew em 1974, o cantor/guitarrista Jim McCann juntou-se a Barney McKenna, Luke Kelly e John Sheahan como membro dos The Dubliners para gravar este álbum, que foi produzido pelo próprio Sheahan. A ligeira mudança na formação resultou em um som mais suave. Arguivelmente, a maior contribuição de McCann para o álbum é a balada "Carrickfergus", que se tornou uma de suas canções mais populares e pedidas. Ele também apresenta uma maravilhosa interpretação da balada inglesa "The Unquiet Grave", interpretada por Luke Kelly.

Notable quotes

“A young man who had been troubling society with impalpable doctrines of a new civilization which he called "the Kingdom of Heaven" had been put out of the way; and I can imagine that believer in material power murmuring as he went homeward, "it will all blow over now." Yes. The wind from the Kingdom of Heaven has blown over the world, and shall blow for centuries yet.”

“Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light; which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.”
