The album is a collection of traditional material and explores a unique repertoire of songs from both sides of the Atlantic and continues Byrne's journey through his own unique musical lineage-the weaving of a great story with a beautiful melody-and he supports this tradition with powerful vocals, polished guitar work, and a presence that fills a room.
The album contains 11 tracks and here are the titles:
Long Years Ago - The River Driver - Go To The Sea No More - Sarah Jane - The Woods of Truagh
Nancy From London - Wedding Waltz - Farewell To Tarwathie - Adelaide - Kitty Bawn O'Brien
Jim Harris
