I will stack up the playlist from my Politics of Immigration against any and all comers. I mean, aside from the GOAT (Dr Springsteen to you and me), I've got two versions of Promised Land, two versions of When the Levee Breaks, some great blues...even some country

Dude: the Irish are bountiful in songs about migration.
The Pogues: Thousands are Sailing
Paddy O'Gorman: The Land of Green and Gold.
