𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗔𝗟𝗕𝗨𝗠: The Road Back Home 𝘗𝘳𝘦-𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘣𝘪𝘰 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘬 @LoreenaMcKennitt The album will be released March 8 and takes fans back to the early Celtic folk roots of her long and illustrious career. The new album features 10 songs, including many Celtic favourites that have remained unrecorded by Loreena until now. The Road Back Home was recorded during the summer of 2023 during her performances at four folk festivals in Ontario. The creative bursts of energy and inspired spontaneity characteristic of the folk circuit are in full bloom on this album. The exclusive pre-sale offer made available to members of the Loreena McKennitt Community included a limited number of personally-signed post cards by Loreena, which due to a wildly enthusiastic response are now all gone in some areas.
