Irish/Afro/Scot in US Civil War CD

I put together a collection of songs for the Civil War music shows I've been touring this Winter/Spring. I hadn't intended the CD for general release, but it's done so well that I have decided to make it more generally available. I've sent it out to a few folk DJs and put it up on CDBaby. The link is here and there is more info and sound files available at that link, too.

The album is a collection of songs/stories from the experience of Irish and Scottish immigrants and African Americans during the era of the US Civil War. You'll know some of the songs, and others are new.

I am about to build a webpage with the details for the album's track list. I'll post the link in a subsequent message.

I just had to pass this on:

The FIGHTING TIGERS OF IRELAND album got a nice review in the 2004 Summer issue of SING OUT!

... and a very fine review by Ireland's Nicky Rossiter, on-line at Rambles here.
