From Tom Cheshire: This album to me is like an old film with Frank Sinatra in it. It is black and white and is up there with the best of 'em. It is a classic and there are certain times through out it, that the film is in color. I see the words painted on the screen in front of me. I see the words on walls and in the sky. I see Irish men and women coming into New York on a boat from overseas. I see and feel their struggle and pain and I see them almost happy. It is dark and haunting and sad and beautiful. It is poetry in motion, it is Poguetry in Motion.
