Product Description Long Journey Home is an epic film event from PBS & Disney which chronicles the role of the Irish in America - from famine-struck Ireland to the White House. The 6-hour series (airing nationwide on PBS Jan. 26-28) is highlighted by rare footage, stunning photos and poignant remembrances, and the soundtrack features performances from top Irish and American artists including Van Morrison, Elvis Costello with Anuna, the Chieftains, Vince Gill, Sinead O'Connor, Eileen Ivers (of Riverdance), Mary Black and others. Review Producer and Chieftains leader Paddy Moloney spotlights a roster of (mostly) Irish stars. . . . Van Morrison's soulful "Shenandoah" reveals the kinship between American and Irish ballads, while Sinead O'Connor's "Skibbereen" has the dark beauty of a Grimm fairy tale. . . . The joyous jigs and bittersweet laments are heartening and heart-rending. . . . -- Entertainment Weekly
