Battlefield Band - The Road Of Tears [CD]

Emigration - enforced, desired or abhorred - is the theme of this album. The Scots have spread around the globe and have also witnessed the displacement of others; songs of delight, despair and plain bone-weariness characterise the state. Some new pieces from the band and some traditional pieces in new settings.
