... and who aked what happened to the song? The whole album was released in Nov of 2003. Desolation Island is the first track. The albums' done OK on the radio - and the song plays pretty regularly. You could call your favorite folk/celtic radio show and request it - they probably have it, and may have already played. it. If they don;t have it, let me know (but most folk/celtic radio stations have the album, in US and Canada, many in Ireland and UK have it as well).
