The Trackless Wild, Irish Song of the Pampa

"The Trackless Wild, Irish Song of the Pampa” explores the forgotten tradition of Irish-Argentine ballads. The album's lyrics were resurrected from the pages of an old 19th century newspaper “El Monitor de la Campaña.” The pampas in the album title refers to the South American low grasslands that once covered large tracts of the Continent. The writer of five of the songs signed his name "A Wandering Tip." Tip often compares the vast grasslands of the pampa to an ocean. What holds him to his course is his song. Songs are a compass on the Trackless Wild, guiding us onwards, keeping us company on this strange dream called the world.
