Notes

Apparently this CD was originally released on Peter Gabriel's Realworld label: "A collection of beautiful and haunting Irish laments. All pieces are solo performances, recorded especially for this album, including Christy Moore (voice and bodhrán), Davy Spillane (low whistle), Mícháel O'Súilleabháin (piano), and Derek Bell (harp). A powerful statement, where artists were asked to record their saddest air as a memory for the loss of innocent life in the Troubles."
