BACKGROUND
This is for all of the melancholy Irish everywhere. Each song has its roots in Ireland, but perhaps like many of the emigrants from that country the three tunes have changed by their re-planting. And yet they cannot free themselves of something undeniably Irish, that sad yearning which values love, and its loss, above everything else. Just listen for it here and it will call you back there, forgiving the tears in your eyes.
