The album name and title track are taken from the book of the same name by Sean O'Callaghan, an account [1] of the thousands of Irish people transported to the Caribbean during the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland.

The album features Irish folk musician Sharon Shannon and sisters Yamina and Nadia Nid El Mourid from the French band Lo'Jo [2]
