On ELLIS ISLAND, the trio pay a sentimental musical tribute to the hallowed landmark that met the majority of immigrants entering the United States at the beginning of the 20th century. The music is full of reflective ballads including the original "Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears" that opens the CD. Traditional tunes include "My Wild Irish Rose," "How Are Things in Glocca Morra" and, of course, "Danny Boy". The included DVD, hosted by Martin Sheen, was one of the most popular music specials ever broadcast on PBS and is still periodically shown today.
