The album includes familiar ‘classics’ such as ‘Down by the Sally Gardens’, ‘The Star of the County Down’ and ‘The Parting Glass’. They are mixed with lesser-known traditional songs, including ‘The Death of Queen Jane’ and ‘As I Roved Out’. There are two instrumental tracks – including a McKennitt original called ‘The Emigration Tunes’, which refers to Irish-Canadian history during the famine of the 1840s.
