"Voices in the Wind" portrays the importance of and need to hold on to memories of the departed. "Making it Big in America" Celtic folk in a rockabilly style, defining a musicians quest for fame and fortune. The fiddle and percussion-backed "Life of the Party" jauntily detailing a road trip through the west of Ireland, has a catchy, pleasing rhythm.
