Our classic progressive album this week is Camel's brilliant Harbour of Tears. Harbour of Tears is a Studio
Concept Album by
English progressive rock band
Camel. It tells the story of an
Irish family who is painfully separated as their young ones depart to the
United States to seek a better future. and vocalist and guitarist
Andrew Latimer learned that the last sight of Ireland his grandmother's family would have seen was
Cóbh Harbour, a deep water port that witnessed the fracturing of hundreds upon thousands of families as their sons and daughters departed towards America. Thus the album was titled as the common alias of the port, 'Harbour of Tears'.
