The Irish Tenors' fourth album sees the trio of Anthony Kearns, Ronan Tynan, and Finbar Wright paying a sentimental musical tribute to Ellis Island, the hallowed landmark that met the majority of immigrants entering the United States at the beginning of the 20th century. Needless to say, the Irish Tenors' repertoire this time around is full of reflective ballads of love, loss, and homesickness. Throughout this studio recording, the Irish Tenors are in fine form and backed by a soft-hued orchestra that never interferes with their soaring vocals. The Ellis Island CD includes traditional tunes, but thankfully, the Irish Tenors didn't forget that the immigrants had fun, too, as evidenced by some lighthearted songs. Ellis Island is a moving aural portrait of the struggles and triumphs of the Irish emigres and a must-have for fans of the Irish Tenors. Ellis Island Track Titles:
