With a new album and DVD in the can, it's effectively a case of job done for the Raining Down Arrows album and so the release of the title track is probably little more than an attempt to remind people that it’s out there as they head out to the shops. It’s still a nice little track though, given some sort of remix, and further proof that Mundy deserves to be up there with the other great career turnarounds.

While it is often true that your inner voice is your harshest critic, it would seem that Edmund Enright is far too severe on himself. Apparently, Mundy doesn’t rate himself too highly as a songwriter but to these ears Raining Down Arrows is a winner...
The dark, romantic Raining Down Arrows is the latest milestone in the creative
liberation of Mundy, a man whose thoughts on love, friendship and connecting with the audience are at the core of his music.
Not immediately recognisable as a Mundy song, this up-tempo taster from his forthcoming Raining Down Arrows album rolls along like a summer breeze on a hot dusty day.
Any discussion of a Best Of or live album is as likely to revolve around what’s left out as what gets in. Mundy’s first foray into such territory, Live And Confusion, is no exception, but it also marks a genuine milestone in the career of the Birr troubadour.
His career was almost over before it began. But hard work - and a surprise hit - have turned Edmund 'Mundy' Enright into one of Ireland's most widely adored stars. Here he reflects on some of the high points of what has been an amazing journey, during the course of which he has rubbed shoulders with some of the greats.
It’s hard to think of two artists less alike than MUNDY and LAURA IZIBOR. But they do have one thing in common: they’re Irish outsiders who have overcome challenging circumstances and, with new albums under their belts, are set to sweep all before them in 2009.
