abstract:The Rocky Road is the fifth studio album by Damien Dempsey. In The Rocky Road, Dempsey endeavours to pull together a fine collection of ballads, some well-known ('The Rocky Road to Dublin', 'The Foggy Dew') and others less-so ('Schooldays Over', 'Hot Asphalt'), while enrolling Dubliners John Sheahan and Barney McKenna to ensure the musicianship demonstrates familiarity and love for the songs selected.
However, Bauer later admitted as we drove down the steep, rockyroad, back into the valley, that the most important thing is to educate wine drinkers on the basics: Where New Zealand is on the world map, where Central Otago is and what wines are produced there.
