RONAN KEATING Songs For My Mother (2009 UK 10-track CD album - Over the space of two days before Christmas, Ronan Keating went into British Grove studios with producer Stephen Lipson, his band and a live orchestra to record a special solo album entitled 'Songs For My Mother' in memory of his late mother Marie 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. Allof 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' & 'Carrickfergus', 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 'Mamas Arms', a song that helped Ronan through his grieving for his mother Marie. The album also includes a brand new version of Ronan's song 'This Is Your Song' [which originally appeared on Ronan's number one 2002 solo album 'Destination'].)
