I've got a soft spot for this 'nouveau celtic' stuff and this sounds good.

Perhaps the song title refers to Travelers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Most definitely :

I think the last 4 letters of your name sum you up nicely
Is there a rating below "Barfo? Maybe "Icepick In Ear?"
There is ONY ONE IRISH / SCOTTISH / WHATEVER song-- it goes "Di-dee-di-dee-diddly-di" and I bet it has FANS!!
All variations of it, however, suck roughly equally and every "Riverdance-ish" revival of that same song suck doubly because they are doomed attempts to resuscitate something that should have remained in music museums on nasty little wax cylinders forever, because it sucked so badly throughout history. Want me to tell you how I REALLY feel? I TURNED OFF RP!! - and put on some solo Jaco Pastorius to aid my recovery.

Well, not necessarily Irish. Big Country came out of Scotland. Nothing wrong with a band recognizing their Celtic roots.

Fair tune...
looks like the wrong cover is displayed
The Scots during the Dark Ages saved civilization. Hope they are up to it again. We need you.

If your Scottish by birth why would that make you or anything you do pseudo Celtic? Wouldn't it provide authenticity?

Fun stuff and competently played, if a bit unexceptional. Reminds me of Shooglenifty.

Nice to hear something from these guys other than "In a Big Country." However, this isn't nearly as good.

Both have Celtic roots, and Big Country in this song are using the bodhran extensively, plus there's more than a touch of eye-diddly-eye-dye in this number. I think BC were rather rockier and far less folky than the Chieftains, mind.

Always welcome and celebrated, especially after coming in from a bracing hike, ride or walk directly west of things here... Thanks, RP!

There's only ONE Irish song. It goes "Di-dee-di-dee-diddly-di" and it sucks.
I possibly had to laugh, hearing certain parts of this song live...
The REAL Big CountryI keep thinking of the Stonehenge scene from Spinal Tap whenever this comes on.
Um...wasn't this track on 'Peace In Our Time' rather than 'No Place Like Home' as listed here?

Hmm, I bicycled to school past an ancient ford south of London on the Darent river, hence Dartford.
Wikipedia quote:
"In prehistory, the first people appeared in the Dartford area around 250,000 years ago"
Judging by appearances, some still live there.
Wow, Big Country as in the Big Country from the 80's

In prehistorical times what are now known as the British Isles were inhabited by various Celtic peoples. Peoples from the island of Ireland spread into Western Isles and lands of what is now Scotland around the 7th C AD (IIRC) with the kingdom of Dal Riada, eventually displacing the indigenous Pictish cultures and languages, mostly peacefully from what I've read. So Scots Gaelic, which I've been studying (with limited success) for some years now is derived from Irish Gaelic, and arguably Gàidhlig is a dialect of Gaelg.
The point I'm trying to make is that the Irish and Scots cultural identities are relatively recent, historically. Celts occupied the islands for millennia before Ireland and Scotland came into being. Your general point is correct, though, that Irish and Scots have an awful lot in common, historically, linguistically and culturally.
"7th century AD... Isn't that about when the Shia and Suni sects of Islam split from one another? It seems to me that the Scots and the Irish get along famously when compared to those two groups.... but that's just me."

I'm a redhead (they're dying out, ya know) with blue eyes. As the red-haired gene originated in Scandinavia, I figure I got mine from a Viking who took an Irish lass during one of the numerous raids (my mother was Irish). While I abhor violence, I'm proud of my bit of Norse heritage.

I'm not sure why, but I tried to download this on Itunes through RadioParadise so you get credit. I opened my Itunes then selected the "download on itunes" icon on RadioParadise.
A browser page opened saying I need to download Itunes. I have Itunes open. Huh?
So, anyway, I couldn't give you guys the credit for the song. Sorry, but I tried.

can't rate this... think I've only herd it this once... but seems much better than I thought BC ever were. Certainly higher than a 6.8! but maybe it is just the hops talkin'

SOB. What possibly could have happen to you in your short life to make
you so sad and angry? What ever it was, you need to move on! Life is
much better if you let go of all that anger. I don't know where you live, but
I could recommend a good shrink if your any where near Montana. Also,
maybe listening to music, which usually calm's people, is not a good thing
for you. Just an observation.
me thinks you need to let it go and let people have their opinions even if they are not the same as yours.........just an observation.
That was a fun song.

After the Cure and Arcade Fire, this is HEAVEN.
