Hozier's folk-soul catalogue frames the new duet
Hozier is an Irish singer-songwriter from Bray, County Wicklow, whose music sits across pop, rock and contemporary singer-songwriter traditions. An AllMusic biography on Hozier places his music in pop and rock and traces his public breakthrough to Take Me to Church.
His catalogue includes the albums Hozier, Wasteland, Baby! and Unreal Unearth. The new cover extends that catalogue into a seasonal collaboration rather than a standalone solo recording.
20th Century Paddy places the cover in a wider tribute
The song appears on 20th Century Paddy, a tribute album celebrating Shane MacGowan's work. Its listed contributors include Bruce Springsteen, Lyra, U2, Tom Waits, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Damien Dempsey, Lisa O'Neill and The Murder Capital.
