For Irish-born, Nashville-based singer\/songwriter Ben Glover, that consideration comes in the form of his new album, The Emigrant, which folds his two worlds into one. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eCo-produced by Glover and Neilson Hubbard, the album features six traditional folk songs and four original compositions (including co-writes with Gretchen Peters, Mary Gauthier, and Tony Kerr) as Glover addresses the universal theme and personal challenge that is immigration.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e'It all began with the song 'The Emigrant,'' he says. 'I started writing that on a solo writing retreat I went on in rural Ireland and ended up finishing it with Gretchen Peters in Nashville. When that song arrived, it unlocked a desire to make an album that brought together an older tradition with a present-day spirit.' \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eHe also turned to another one of his most-trusted collaborators: Mary Gauthier. Glover is a frequent co-writer with both Peters and Gauthier, having won International Song of the Year at the 2016 UK Americana Awards with Peters for 'Blackbirds,' a song which appears on Atlantic and serves as the title track to her most recent solo album.\u003cp\u003eThe Parting Glass\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Song Of Home\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Emigrant\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoonshiner\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Clare To Here\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeart In My Hand\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Auld Triangle\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDreamers, Pilgrims, Strangers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Band Played Waltzing Matilda\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Green Glens Of Antrim\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55169466663297,"sku":"595141","price":15.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/61YYYDPKyLL._SL1500.jpg?v=1768077086","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/595141","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
