about

The title of this well-known and much-loved reel reflects the perennial Irish concern and fascination with “the new land.” I’ve slowed it down considerably here to bring out the bittersweet yearning in the melody (and perhaps also acknowledge the John Denver/Gordon Lightfoot influence on my early musical development).

It so happened that the day I recorded this track was Inauguration Day of 1993, appropriately enough. America and the world have been through a lot since then… As I write these Silver Anniversary Edition notes in 2018, America’s future remains uncertain, and there are many possible directions it could go, both constructive and destructive. This, then, is dedicated to the hope that one day my country will live up to its ideals.
